...heart of the classics, and humanity is a composite thing. For this reason, good teaching and full appreciation of the classics is somewhat difficult. If, however, we were to follow Mr. Palmer's suggestion of "unscrambling" the classics, we would be only creating another chaos. Specialization in a certain field is, of course, of importance for the graduate student. But I cannot see how an undergraduate can enjoy Virgil without learning to appreciate the language, the rhythm, the imagination, the patriotic fervor, and the human characteristics of the great poet, whose vitality cannot be extinguished even by the wave...
Tacitus illustrates probably better than any other author the various view-points of classical study. His Latinity has certain stylistic features worthy of linguistic study; as literature his writings have been included in compilations of World's Best Literature; and as a source of historical facts he ranks among the foremost.

First, an inadequate orchestra: both the orchestration and the orchestral performance were far in advance of those of late years, but there...
...Freshman Jubilee, these three dormitory clubs will sing in competition, and the winning club will be awarded a silver cup. In this competition, certain pieces in common will be sung by all three clubs, while each club will also give an individual performance. In awarding the trophy, the judges will take into consideration the quality and technique of the singing in preference to its volume. The regularity of attendance at rehearsals will also carry considerable weight in the final decision, the dormitory having the highest attendance percentage receiving a certain number of points toward its total...
