Weber's Overture "Euryanthe" was composed in 1823, Strange to say its first presentation was a failure. The violin parts are exceedingly intricate and this with the immense number of unexpected modulations caused a disastrous break in the performance. Since then the work has been given much less than its due share of attention. It certainly is full of beauty having as it does such a wealth of modulation and harmonic effect. Parts of it are weird and ghostly but it all comes out well in a shout of triumph, a fitting close for so excellent a concert...
...through Allston, where the hounds had some difficulty in following the scent. Thence the trail crossed through Brighton, Brookline and around the reservoir, terminating at the Cambridge end of the Harvard bridge. A. L. Endicott '94 was master of the hounds and lined up the men here for the break. The hounds raced back to the gymnasium and D. W. Fenton, 2nd, finished first with J. W. Schereschewsky '95 second and J. P. Fox '94 third...
...played in a listless half-hearted way, until the coaches braced them up thoroughly. For the end of the season, however, there was too little snap, and a great ignorance of some of the points which should have been learned at the beginning of the year.

Half way down the hill a profusion of paper signified the break. The men lined up and raced to the gymnasium, J. O. Nichols L. S. finishing first just sixteen minutes after the hares who escaped being caught by four minutes. A. Blake '93 was second with F. S. Hinckley '95 third. The distance of the run was about seven miles and any difficulties...
...Corey Hill, beyond to Brookline, round Chestnut Hill reservoir, then on to Jamaica Plain Pond. From there the trail led to Brookline, down Huntington Avenue, through Back Bay Park. where the pace was increased and kept undiminished until the hounds reached the Cambridge end of Harvard Bridge, where the break was. But about half of the original starters lined up for the run in. Manley '93 and Fenton '95 raced all the way and Fenton won by a small margin. Coolidge '95 finished a good third. He was followed by Osborne '95, Burleigh. L. S. Endicott '94, and Schereschewsky...
