...never sang better. The successes of the evening were Keler Bela's "On the Rhine" waltzes, the encore to which was the now well-known "Inman Line" march and Titt'l's "Serenade," in which the flute and cornet parts were rendered with an accuracy and delicacy too seldom found in amateurs...
...laid down in the first number. Our contributors, although few in number as compared with the men in college who can and ought to write, have been extremely obliging and constant. We hope that more men will write for us next year.

The poets of this school are carefully excluded - in their wild moods - from...

It has been found hitherto that a man might diligently study German for two years, and at the end of that time be unfitted - so far as German was concerned - to take either of the courses in history. The reason is, that what has been read in the regular courses has been mostly or wholly poetry and easy fiction, the styles...
