...difference 'between Ach, du lieber Augustin," he explains, "and any waltz tune composed from the middle of the 19th Century onwards is the dif ference between a piece of music al most devoid of any emotion and a piece of music deeply saturated with sentiment, languor and voluptuousness. The susceptible maiden who, when she hears Ach, du lieber Augustin, feels no emotion beyond one of general cheerfulness and high spirits, is fairly made to palpitate by the luscious strains of the modern waltz ; her soul is carried swooning along undulating oceans of molasses ; she can hardly breathe...
...scenery for the play is of a very unusual character. Special attention has been given to the reproducing of local color and atmosphere. The sunwashed fronts of the houses, the multi-colored awnings, everything combines to convey an impression of languor and drowsiness which is essentially Spanish. The keynote of the play is struck by the admirable choice of colors, pinks and yellows predominating.

...state of our societies suffer much in contrast. Although receiving invitations almost weekly to visit neighboring cities, no one seems to consider them of enough importance to accept. Trips are taken to such places as Malen and Medford, while places like New York and Philadelphia are wholly neglected. Languor and indifference are the prevailing points in our musical organizations. The recent concert of the Pierian Sodality at Sanders showed the presence of talent and ability in this line. Although we cannot dispense with these local concerts, we desire to see Harvard's name and influence extended by the efforts...
