AMONG the courses of Evening Readings given in the various departments of the University, one of the most popular is Professor Child's course of Readings from Shakspere. Professor Child, however, confines himself almost wholly to explanations of the text, doing little to bring out the individuality of Shakspere's characters. As a supplement to his valuable instruction, could not Mr. Riddle be induced to read one or more of these plays in Sanders Theatre, with a view to giving us a clear understanding of each character...
...none too early for the various classes to begin to get together material for the crews that are to row in the spring, as it will require fully three months to train class eights up to the standard of last year. The chances of success are so evenly balanced, that if proper captains are chosen, and due care is taken in selecting men to row, the race must be very close.

...away with a number of the small societies, which are now becoming so numerous. While laudable enough in themselves, they necessitate a division of energies, and take up an amount of time that in no way compensates for the advantages afforded by one strong association. Men interested in various subjects might, as now, meet at certain times, but always as members of the Union (in a room corresponding to the English debating-room, for instance), without all the machinery of officers, and without the expenditure of time and money which the separate organizations now require...
