There has been much discussion as to whether the symphony should come at the beginning, at the end, or in the middle of the programme. Wherever it had come last evening no one could have failed to enjoy the manner in which Mr. Nikisch gave the fourth symphony of Beethoven. His conceptions are always so excellent that one feels quite justified in taking them as standard, but if he has any fault it is that of being a trifle sentimental. The introductory adagio, as also the adagio third movement, might have seemed to some tastes a little exaggerated, but altogether...
Some one, we suspect a member of the graduate department, has written a Harvard letter to one of our contemporaries from the far West which we feel it almost beneath us to notice. This person has undertaken to deal sarcastically with our manner of living and with the financial management of the University, and has made it appear that Harvard is intolerable in the extreme.

Mr. Storey devoted a long time to the discussion of sugar's being on the free list. He drew a comparison of the old and new tariff laws, said that somebody understood every line but that nobody understood the whole...
...best of the stories is entitled "The O'Driscolls of Hungry Hill." It treats of the Irish famine in a sympathetic manner. "The Conversion of the Hug-Mug-Gee Islands" contains an ingenious idea, amusingly worked out. "Cosette" begins with an unnecessarily long and rather tedious description of an artist. The plot is ineffective, because its end is apparent before it is fairly introduced. The French has a decidedly Anglicized sound...
