...number of members, which last year was thirty-one, has increased to forty-three, and all who have heard them play say that the performance is better than it has ever been before. All the instruments necessary for the production of a symphony concert are represented, and we may hope that at no distant time the sodality will attempt to rival the symphony concerts which are now so popular with the students. At present, however, the players limit themselves to less difficult performances...
...setting the whole subject of Anglomania aside, we wish to say that we have welcomed the communications that have come to us, and regret that our space has not allowed us to publish them all. We hope that the students of the college will never hesitate to use our columns either for contradicting our opinions or for setting up opinions of their own.

Matthew Arnold for example, or Edmund Gosse in the younger generation, and all of them, seem to have little of the poet's inspiration though much of the poet's art; and we read them only to be gratified by a certain titillation of the senses rather than to have our sympathies roused at the discovery that their souls and sufferings are at all like...
