Nothing, perhaps, could point more conclusively to the fact that America is pre-eminently the land of innovation and experiment than the constant recurrence of changes in its educational systems. We Americans are striving to attain the standard of perfection, and, -though that standard be a lofty one, and though we overturn and trample upon many a venerable institution to reach it-we persuade ourselves that our endeavors are in the right direction, and that the success that shall crown our efforts is almost within our grasp.

It was well deserved; and this was apparently the opinion of the large audience which completely filled the theatre; and gave constant marks of warm approval. Never has the Pierian done such good work within the memory of present undergraduates; their playing has more of the merits of real orchestral work, and fewer of the failings of amateurs than we have ever known it to have.
