...reads this barrowing tale it will afford some satisfaction to learn that the guilty ones are to be dealt with according to their deserts. No penalty should be thought too severe - even to compelling them to devour the whole of their ill-gotten store. When the news of the outrage became known the freshman class promptly met and reported the matter to the faculty. They, on their part, have taken measures for expelling the offenders, who it appears have been guilty of other atrocities only rivalled in cruelty by the above described act. One freshman reports that he was recently...
...Beethoven, - cadenzas by Carl Baermann, - Prof. Baermann, though showing great facility of execution yet lacked nothing in beauty of expression. The new symphony in C minor by Frederic H. Cowen, performed for the first time, was somewhat bombastic, the noticeable "noise" being very inappropriate for the allegro.

Until a comparatively recent date commencement day at Harvard was a general holiday in Boston, banks and stores being closed. Imagine the Stock Exchange closing its doors, and the banks suspending business in this city because there was a commencement at Columbia or the University of the City of New York...
...base-ball in him he will show it in his freshman year. Ernst began to play as a junior and did not pitch at all until his senior year. Folsom began to pitch in his junior year, and Tyng, though he played in the nine during his whole course, never caught until he became a senior. Not many, however, are willing to spend so much time as candidates, and some method should be devised by which such men could keep in practice and at the same time not find it such dry work as it is at present...
