Tonight occur the annual theatricals given by the Conference Francaise. This society has from the start shown great activity, and the members have always taken great interest in everything which it has undertaken. The performance this evening promises to be a great success. We understand that the soclety will devote its receipts from the performance to defray the expenses of M. Coquelin's lecture lass fall. Tickets went very rapidly then, and we see no reason why many tickets should not be disposed of this evening. The plays are in modern French and can be readily understood by everyone having...
...week from tonight the Conference Francaise will give its annual theatricals, for which the men have been rehearsing very diligently.

If we are to understand the immortality of the soul we must have it. And after attaining it, we must light others to this...
...with anything but pleasure that we feel obliged to call attention to the present condition of the Pierian Sodality. The men who are at present the managers of the Pierian do not perhaps understand that a responsibility of no light weight rests on their shoulders, and that in their official capacity they owe it to the university to bring the society back to its former position among Harvard musical organizations. The managers, however, cannot be entirely responsible for the present degenerate condition of the Society in view of the fact that the members themselves have lost all interest...
