...throughout the year. We have been allowed, up to this time, to take as many hours each half-year as we wished, provided that the sum-total for the two half-years equalled twenty-four hours; a privilege which was very valuable to many faithful students. To applicants for honors, particularly, the liberty to take the larger amount of work during the first half-year was very important, as it gave them more time in the spring for the special work which is required for examinations for honors.

...place of honor on the programme was justly given to the wonderful Introduction and Finale from Wagner's favorite and best music-drama, Tristan. The despair of hopeless love has never been, and perhaps will never again be so well expressed in tones as here. But in interpreting it the chief defect of Thomas's orchestra was revealed. This glowing, passionate composition loses much in effectiveness by being played in such a measured and nicely calculated concert style. The whole opera is like one wild tumultuous torrent of ungovernable passion, and must be played a l' abandon, and with...
