...promise of very good things in the future. The men played in not particularly good time and some of the music was rather too hard for them. Reubenstein dances were a good selection, being not easily comprehensible and requiring perfect execution to make them effective. one could still hear through the playing of the Pierian a certain appreciation and coherence. If we may be allowed a suggestion we would say that with persistent work upon music not too difficult they will be able to play better than any set of men the college has seen collected in its orchestra...
When we consider the grave trouble at Princeton some years ago, and when now we hear the reports of unusual illness at Yale, we have reason to congratulate ourselves that Harvard has for years maintained the reputation of being a perfectly healthful place. We have heard of a parent, undecided as to whether he should send his boy to Yale or Harvard, settling finally on the latter, solely because of the reported malarial tendencies of New haven.

The appearance, however, of Prof. Hofmann's address at Berlin, and the two reports of the Philosophical faculty of that university seems to warrant extended comment. As our view of the pamphlet in question seems too long to be inserted in any one edition of the paper, we have decided...
