Beethoven's Overture to "Corilanus," beginning with the huge chords on C, was impressively played. The suite, "Peor Gynt" by Grieg was the novelty. The fourth movement, which obtained an encore, has a clumsy, grotesque, theme worked up in a theatrical fashion and very much a la Wagner. After a fourth hearing one is convinced that this movement does not deserve so much applause. The Italian Symphony of Mendelssohn was simply delicious. Mr. Nikisch led the work in an exhilarating manner...
...found, in denouncing that which is dishonorable and evil. The third beneficial force is philosophy. Some good certainly does result for the men who refrain from evil doing on purely philosophical grounds, and this good is greater at college where philosophy is taught than in the outside world.

Some very interesting statistics are given concerning the growth of our cities. The increase of cities having a population of 8,000 and over, from 1800 to 1880, has been from 6 to 286.

The story steadily develops in interest and the strong scene with which this installment closes is in the author's best manner. There are as usual a number of editorials, the one on Browning being rather a conservative criticism, and the recent work of Harris Taylor...
...seniors are working under a good many disadvantages. They have six men rowing on the 'varsity, four or five of whom will no doubt remain there. As a result of the drain the '90 crew does not look very promising. Of the eight which came in fourth last year only two men are rowing at present. Crehore and Tyson are sick, Vaughan and Sanford are not rowing and Captain Wells has to content himself with the pick of a very much picked over class. He has about ten new men rowing whose abilities it is not at present possible...
