...entertainment given last evening by the Pi Eta Society was excellent in every respect. Mr. Belshaw, who played the title role in both comedy and farce, was inimitable, and showed a wonderful diversity of talent in portraying first the good-natured but vain-glorious Papa Perrichon, and then the rollicking Irish boy, who manages to get into mischief every minute, and to get out again immediately after, by use of his mother-wit. Messrs. Lord and Jack played the parts of the two rival suitors with excellent taste. The female roles were taken by Messrs. Fox and Cushing, the former...

At our fall meetings, in order to encourage large entries, men who have certain fine records are handicapped, thus giving more likelihood...
...comment upon the awfulness and depravity of the practice of hazing, and Bowdoin College has more than once furnished us a text. But now a case has happened at that college over which it little behooves the public to make light. One freshman, it is reported, after long and vain entreaties on the part of the authorities and assurances of protection, has at last tremblingly confessed the story of his wrongs. One short sentence tells it all: "They stole his peanuts." No ordinary case this of personal assault, of demolishing property or of like indignity, but a bold and malignant...
