...another permanent distinguishing mark has been suggested. In the Library is a card on which are printed in colors the flags of the various college boat-clubs of Oxford University; with the dark-blue flag of the University in the centre, these bright-colored flags have a very brilliant effect. It would be perfectly possible for the boat-clubs of Harvard to choose flags of a similar sort. Five flag-staffs could be erected on the boat-house. In the centre the great Magenta banner could be hoisted, and on either side two club-flags, whose colors and designs should...
...those of the students who formerly attended the repasts spread in the bare and unpretending, nay, somewhat comfortless, salle a manger of the Thayer Club, their present quarters are particularly grateful; and yet, as their eyes recover from the dazzling and bewildering effect of stained-glass windows, groined roof, high wainscot, oaken floor and tables, venerable portraits, armorial plates, saucers, and sugar-bowls, and ebony-skinned attendants, the still, small voice of the stomach makes itself heard, whispering to them that what satisfies the eye and elevates the aesthetic taste does not completely appease the longings of the poor animal...

...printer for ornament, with no reference to what preceded. "The Water Lily" and "Spring's Return" were sung fairly. The crescendo and diminuendo passages were well given, but in piano the 2d bass was too loud several times. The "Chorus of Pilgrims," from Tannhauser, was given with grand effect. Considering the difficulties which lie in the middle of this piece, consisting of accidentals, naturals, and other terrors, the Club deserve great credit for their fine rendering. A charming old English ballad received an intelligent interpretation. "The Violet" of Mozart was well rendered as an encore. The fact is, encores seemed...
...Tennyson's Lady Clare was excellent, and served well to illustrate his powers in that style of reading. Poe's Bells, however, was by all odds his best delivered and most appreciated selection. His manner of imitating the sound of bells was strikingly original and natural in its effect, and his delivery of the piece as a whole can hardly be too highly praised. In the Quarrel of Brutus and Cassius Mr. Lyon was assisted by Mr. C. H. Kloman, who, judging from the manner in which he rendered his lines, fully understood how Cassius should be represented. This selection...
