...college, and those of the college toward the Glee Club, I must make a grave general charge against the college. Musically speaking it is at the lowest ebb of indifference. Not to speak of the neglect of the musical opportunities afforded by Boston, the number of students attending Mr. Henschel's concerts in Sanders itself was disproportionately small; while the concerts which Prof. Paine arranged, on his personal responsibility, in Sever, were a failure through the utter indifference of the students, for whose benefit they were intended. As for the Glee Club and Pierian, they have been continually disheartened...
...last concert of the Symphony Orchestra last evening was an eminent success. The events of the programme were the concerto for piano in E flat, by Mr. Henschel, and the symphonic poem by Prof. Paine. The concerto was highly appreciated by the audience, the parts in the adagio carried by the violins being especially admired.

Schubert's symphony, written when the composer was nineteen years of age, displays all the freshness of youth, with none...
...third concert of the series given in Sanders Theatre last night was well attended. The audience was large and enthusiastic. The programme was by far the most popular we have yet heard. The recitations were all rendered with the care and taste that characterizes all of Mr. Henschel's work. In the absence of Mr. Winch, Mr. Henschel consented to fill his place, to the delight of the audience. His two selections were from the "Meister-Singer" and the ever-welcome "Two Grenediers." The latter selection introducing the Marseillaise, was received with a round of hearty applause that continued...
