Until abuses are stopped there is no other way than continually to harp upon them, and it is with this in mind that we again call attention to the use of reserved books in the library. Far too often complaints are made that books supposed to be reserved are nowhere to be found. The only legitimate conclusion is that certain unscrupulous students have secreted them for their own personal benefit. No argument, of course, is needed to show the selfishness and injustice of such practices, and yet, after the matter has been repeatedly brought to the notice of the students...
...Scherzo capriccioso by Dvorak was given in Boston four weeks ago and was well received. It has the effect of a weird dance, and is very characteristic. The waltz movement is very strongly marked, while the harp obligato gives it a flowing effect. The work of the fluters in duett was very fine in this number...

...early years our old Harvard Alma Mater sat still and lifeless as the colossi in the Egyptian desert. Then all at once, like the commander's statue in Don Giovanni, she moved from her pedestal. The fall of that "story foot" has effected a miracle like the harp that Orphens played, like the teeth which Cadmus sowed. The plain where the moose and the bear were wandering while Shakespeare was writing Hamlet, where a few plain dormitories and other needed buildings were scattered about in my school-boy days, groans under the weight of the massive edifices which have...
...London paper states that the choruses composed by Dr. G. A. Macfarren for the recent performances in Greek at Cambridge and Eaton of the "Ajax" of Sophocles are in unison throughout, with accompaniment for harp (representing the lyre), and a small orchestra, reinforced by a drum. The music which the late Sir Sterndale Bennett was writing for the same tragedy is conceived more in the style of Mendelssohn's Greek tragedies ("Antigone" and "OEdipus") than in that adopted by his successor at Cambridge University. Only two pieces, unfortunately, were left complete - the overture and funeral march...
