...lectures, however, will be given by civilians, but by gentlemen none the less competent to discuss their subjects. Lectures of this sort by such finished historical scholars as John C. Ropes and Dr. Channing cannot fail to be of interest, if for no better reason as presenting an instructive contrast in the point of view of the military operations described, taken by the civilian and by the actual soldier...
...tales, and the tale has been skillfully amplified for the purpose of the stage. Nothing could be simpler than the story of "Alpine Roses," although the intrigue which runs through the play is not so simple. (Here follows a short account of the plot). This play offers a charming contrast between a frank and honest manner of life, and a life which is heartless, formal and shallow. The contrast is made skillfully. The characters in "Alpine Roses" are brightly shown. The scenes are coherent and interesting. The action, though a trifle slow in the second scene, is elsewhere quick...
...they held the ball. This enabled them to do some very effective passing, in which they showed themselves well trained. When a Princeton man started to make a run, the ball would invariably change hands three or four times before the Harvard rushers could make it down.

The tackling of the Princeton team was low and hard, but the light weight of the men sometimes...
...result is that ache year the team is composed mainly of seniors, who have had three years experience of the game. The university teams play before dinner from 12 to 1.30, and run about two miles ; they practice kicking and passing before supper, from 5 to 6 ; these hours contrast strongly with those of our team, beginning play seldom much before 4.30, and forced to stop by a twilight much earlier than that of Princeton. Princeton has no Boston near at hand, and the captain knows just about what all his men are doing in the way of training, -indeed...
...series of Symphony concerts in Sanders Theatre was a great success in point of the size of the audience. The programme was a very interesting one, as the selections were made from at least three different schools of modern music, and gave a splendid opportunity for comparison and contrast. The Egmont overture was perhaps a little fast; it is a notable fact that the works of the older masters are not given with the same fire or care as the modern ones. It is a natural consequence of the present lack of competition in orchestra concerts in Boston. Max Heicrich...
