...question naturally arises as to whether or not the rejected competitors are to be excluded from all practice in speaking. If the reorganization of the old Union meant that it should, we should surely hesitate to support it so readily. But there can be no possible objection to forming another debating union if there are enough who care to undertake it. The University is large enough to support several organizations of this kind. The competition would be beneficial and tend to spread the interest. At the same time it would give one the experience which might finally bring the coveted...
...express in their development the history of whole phases of human history. The word "virtue" in the text is a fitting example. The Greek word used by St. Peter had a simple meaning compared with its translation, a meaning parallel to "virtus" from which we get our word.

Writers on the subject however do not agree as to just what qualities these ideas are meant to express and there is a possibility that Beethoven abandoned himself to the simple composition of artistic music in these movements. Cambridge can have no fault to find if the standard of this first concert is kept up through the year...
