...merits of "The Bank Account," mentioned in the review of the "Monthly" which will appear tomorrow, are considerable enough to make one regret that the tragedy suffered in the acting. Mr. Loud, as the chief character was good in voice and manner, but made his part too much a monologue addressed to the audience; nor was he adequately supported. More attention should be bestowed by the coach upon the interaction of the characters, their stage positions, and their gestures...
...amateur musical activities of the College are at present regulated in such unsystematic manner that much, indeed, in the way of improvement can be wished far. Certain it is that existing conditions are far from being continue to the fullest assertion of the widely scattered musical ability latent in the College community.

Mr. Thayer tells the story of the tubercular concierge with exactness of tone and economy of material. One is tempted to say that there is not a word too much. The judicious use of such recurring details as the companionable hen and Fraeulein Goldschmidt's "It would not have happened in Germany" give the impression of skill and sureness of touch. Indeed, the author achieves the seemingly impossible...
