...only be charged upon some of the many doubtful characters which the recent parade gathered together. No excuse need be offered by the city government in thus applying in so gentlemanly a spirit first to the undergraduates. We are sorry to say that when even meat signs and the better part of lamp posts are frequently found adorning students rooms, it is no stretch of the imagination to suppose for a moment that some patriotic student has claimed his country's flag as the fair guerdon of a night raid. But we are very loth to think for a moment...

In the second Adagio movement the quality of tone of the whole orchestra was especially warm and sympathetic, the performers seeming to respond better to the wishes of the conductor. The allegro movements were played with a great deal of precision. The whole conception of the Symphony was an admirable one. It is a pity that in place of the Toccata or the Largo, one of Prof. Paine's works was not given...
