...extremely creditable pieces of work and were well received. The club sang these old-fashioned songs with exquisite skill and grace. "Maiden with Lips so Rosy," and the Post Horn by Schubert, were not so well executed. The Banjo club followed with Braham's Medley and excited so much enthusiasm that it was necessary to respond to three encores. The organization clearly made the hit of the evening. The programme closed with the familiar Mendelssohn wedding march by the Sodality and a group of college songs, of which the "Spanish Proverb" and the "Versatile Baby" were the best...

There seems to us no reason, therefore, why she should not do as well in these as she has ever done before.

Mr. Nikisch again conducted without score...

They are under the supervision of Alexander, L. S. The freshmen have taken hold of rowing with great enthusiasm. Although many men have stopped work, there still remain three crews which work daily in squads, as follows: first, Baldwin, Doe, Winslow, Brewer, Broughton, Tansill, Converse and Walcott; second, Barlow, Pike, Hall, Clarke, Brown, Campbell, Purrington, French, Hale; third, Keyes, Wood, Jaggar, Cochrane, Batchelder, Chew, Earle and Tripp. The crew...
