...Power of Spring" by P. G. Clapp '09, and the irresistibly clever and fascinating Scherzo by G. L. Foote '08. At the same time there was serious thought in the pieces by E. Royce '097 and the trio by R. L. Sweet '08 showed an uncommon power for sustained breadth of phrase. The group of songs showed H. L. Murphy's voice to excellent advantage. The quartets by Brahms and Osgood were well balanced and carefully shaded...
