THE theatricals in aid of the Boat Club will take place in Boston at Horticultural Hall on Thursday and Friday evenings, April 8 and 9, and on Saturday afternoon, April 10. The performance on Thursday will consist of the burlesque of "William Tell," preceded by the farce entitled "A Happy Pair." Two farces, "Which is Which?" and "One too Many for Him," will be presented on Friday, and they will be followed by a Negro Interlude. On Saturday afternoon "William Tell," and the farce "A Happy Pair," will be repeated.
A SHORT time ago the Sophomore Foot-Ball Club challenged the Sophomore Class at Yale to a match-game of foot-ball, to be played according to the Rugby rules. Yale replied to this by refusing to kick foot-ball unless our Sophomores played base-ball with them; unless they consented to come to New Haven and were willing to kick the football match according to the Harrow rules. A committee of five has been appointed to endeavor to understand these stipulations, and if possible arrange a meeting.
THE prospects for a University crew are improving, and we have very good reason to hope that we shall be well represented on the lake next summer. A large number of men have been working at the Gymnasium, and there are several men from the lower classes who will furnish excellent material, if it is decided to enter the races at Philadelphia in 1876 with six and four oar crews. The comparison of the books shows that the candidates have worked more regularly and thoroughly than they did last year. The probable crew is as follows: Bacon, '76; Wetmore, '75;
Otis, Thayer, James, L. S. S.; Taylor, '77; with Hall, '76, as substitute.
WE understand from the Bursar that it is proposed to establish in Holyoke next year a janitor with a family. Occupants of rooms in the building who now employ men to build fires, etc., will be obliged to engage the janitor for those purposes. The occupants, moreover, who have washing done in Cambridge must have it done by the family. Or, in the words of a Boston paper, "Holyoke will be managed in every way like a first-class hotel, except that no meals will be served." The object of the proposed change is to exclude from the building persons who do not belong there, and to make the property of the students more secure. The measure is looked upon by some occupants of the building as extremely arbitrary, and by others as quite desirable. It seems to us that the occupants of Holyoke will be very much at the mercy of the family of their janitor if the plan is adopted, for, when once domesticated in the building, the family (whether their work is done satisfactorily or not) will probably remain there for a year at least.
