...unusually interesting. The preliminary contest has reduced the number of speakers, so that the contest will not be wearisomely long, and special care has been taken to avoid the dull and hackneyed selections which have bored listeners in previous years.

If instructors are to have this power of changing marks once given, no one will ever know where he stands, and a man may be notified, a year after he has finished a course, that...
...orchestra would do well to emulate; qualities certainly not to be expected of amateurs. In the Haydn Symphony both the vigor of the attack and the delicacy of the shading were particularly noticeable. The different parts were surprisingly clear; there was no scrabbling, and the rhythmical contrast was well brought out. We should all be very proud of Mr. Dean and his well-trained orchestra...
