...Globe has been drawing large houses to one of the weakest performances we have ever witnessed. The same performance will be given during the coming week. It is thoroughly stupid and, while the Hanlons are clever acrobats, the piece, "Le Voyage en Suisse," does not possess the least merit...
THERE are three forces by which a college government may be made to progress. These are, Necessity, Legacies or Gifts, and Public Opinion. Of these, necessity is the strongest, legacies act the most quickly, and public opinion is the weakest and takes the longest time in producing its results. But when it takes such a positive form as a general refusal to live in a certain building, it makes itself felt more promptly. It has taken only six or eight years of continual talk among the students and constant complaint in the College papers, to make it evident...

Our present coffee is the weakest the writer has ever seen, it is sparingly endowed with calorific properties, and plentifully supplied, in unknown and unvisited regions, with cold milk (perchance once boiled) and, I should say, with copper-filings, and maybe a pinch or two of snuff besides. At the Thayer Club we had every...
