...Symphony concert in Sanders theatre last evening, Mr. Loeffler, the soloist, played with his accustomed mastery and refined taste. His selection, "The Symphony Espagnole," for violin and orchestra, is written in the modern fashion of full instrumentation, and is very poetical. Had the orchestra supported Mr. Loeffler better the effect of his solo would have been greatly enhanced. But the accompaniment was ragged and frequently off the beat. The snare drummer was the particular offender in the latter respect...
From Mr. Hooper's letter which is published in another column it is easy to see what influences are at work to undermine the position which Harvard has assumed upon the athletic question. It is difficult, however, to incriminate her in this fashion. Harvard makes no claim that she has in the past been above reproach. She, too, though in a somewhat less degree than some of her sister colleges is open to criticism for the past. She does maintain, however, that her actions this year have been straightforward and honest, and of this she certainly has a right...
...slur over moral laxity in a man provided he is affable and kindly, i.e., a 'good fellow.' Yet it is undeniable that the feeling of contempt, for vice and extravagance, gathers strength among all as the four years pass.

...inferior artist, however, and is only a fair production. It is executed in Pentelic marble, and, of course, many of the details of the great statue have been omitted. In a second statuette, discovered later, the reliefs on the shield of the great statue are reproduced after a fashion; the statuette as a whole, however, is a very clumsy piece of workmanship, and much inferior to the one first discovered. But even from the meager accounts we have of the statue of Athena Parthenos, we cannot but conclude that it was a magnificent and imposing work...
...recent restrictive resolutions of the overseers have called forth such comment in the newspapers of the day, and particularly in the college press, as to put in an unfair light the liberal policy of our university. It has suddenly become the fashion for many other colleges to wash their hands of Harvard's system and to put themselves on record as supporters to a greater or less extent of the conservative spirit. It is, of course, obvious that a blind liberal policy is more dangerous than a blind conservative policy, but that critic of the Harvard system who designates...
