...time gave promise of becoming. In a new enterprise deficiencies are to be excused; but the present volume of the Echo falls considerably below the standard of its predecessors. And yet it would seem as if, among the battalions of editors which our cotemporary boasts, enough talent and energy might be found to secure freedom from grammatical and typographical errors, at least. We are of the opinion that Harvard deserves as good a daily as Yale, and will support one. There is, however, room for only one daily here, and we are thus dependent upon the Echo. We hope...
...greatest light in science, and perhaps the most distinguished of its professors. Mr. Peirce had been for forty-seven years a professor in the College, -the longest time, with but one exception, that any one has held such a position. He was a born mathematician, with a special talent for astronomy as well.

Possessing an undeniably rich vein of humor, he acts with charming verve and freshness, and his impersonation of Prof. Pygmalion Whiffles, alike in conception and execution, proves him a comedian of decided talent. Mr. Goodwin's imitations of noted actors are also very clever. The rest of the troupe fill their several parts acceptably, especially Miss Jennie Weathersby, who shows considerable ability as a low comedienne. The engagement of the Froliques ends with this week. On Monday next, Bartley Campbell's new play...
