...Yale's success. The year then, must look cheerful at its beginning. But this is not enough. It is a habit with years and especially Harvard years, to open with many cheerful prospects and then to prove bitterly blue and sad at the end. It may be bold, but we venture the suggestion that if every man in this University made up his mind to keep himself and his friends cheerful for the whole year, to be silent about things which he did not understand and to give the team captains credit for right motives and sound judgment we should...
Tschaikowsky's magnificent fifth Symphony brought to a close the finest concert, perhaps, of the season. His compositions bear more or less of the Slavonic temperament - "fiery exaltation on a basis of languid melancholy." He is fond of fantastic and melodic tunes, bold modulations and striking effects; and his fifth symphony is perhaps his most characteristic. The orchestration is very rich, the various instruments playing alternately one time to give fantastic effects and again combining in grand harmonies.

...wherever the chest was washed ashore. The request was followed out implicitly. Grim had also two sons, one of them the hero Egil. He was a precocious youth; a bit of poetry remains, which he is said to have written in his third year. He grew up, courageous and bold, and began the villianous side of his career when he was eleven by killing a playmate. Later he went to England and aided the King against the Scots. Then he came back to Norway. Here he fell in love with his brother's widow, and finding in the law some...
