...your late issues appeared an editorial charging the members of the Pierian Sodality with gross neglect. The members, I think, will all plead guilty to the charge, but they are undoubtedly justified in their stand to great extent, either by a lack of energy on the part of the management or by a lack of invitations to give concerts in the suburbs of Boston.

...first winter meeting is now but a little more than a week off.

There is barely room in the course rowed every year for four crews, especially at the starting point, and a fifth crew would seriously inconvenience all. This is a very strong ground for refusing. And in the second place, a crew from the Law School made...
NOTICE TO SENIORS.- Men seem to think that it is enough if they have their photographs taken any time before Class Day. The Committee wish they would get over this idea at once. To have the work satisfactory, every picture should be taken before the April recess...
