...Eight, in unison and peace, restores dear, happy Class Day at Harvard, and good-will reigns supreme. Of the fifteen officers, eight were unanimously elected by acclamation; the seven others give universal satisfaction. The harmonious, open election has exemplified the high principle that the interests of the Class are superior to the interests of societies. For the service that Seventy-Eight has done in thus firmly re-establishing Class Day, she deserves the thanks, not only of those connected with the College, but especially of those of the gentler sex who hope to experience on this most famous...
...comparatively little interest was taken in the event; but on Friday a much larger crowd and more intense interest was everywhere to be seen.

The luck seemed to be entirely with the fielders as against the batsmen, but this always seems to be the way in a game where good fielding is done. The Nine have reason to congratulate themselves...
...Yale Lit for April is far superior to our other exchanges, and seems to be an interesting and highly creditable publication. Our high opinion of its merits, however, may be owing to our having taken immediately before it a large dose of other college papers. The prize oration on Carlyle is certainly original and thoughtful, though we cannot commend its style. The editors of the Lit. should be careful about quotations. Horace and Coleridge both suffer in this number...
