...will not submit to changes unless they are gradual. To reform the manners of the students we must reform the manners of the overseers. Another line of criticism among undergraduates has been about the choice of studies as being novel and as representing a too fast movement. I want to point out the fact that Harvard College has been too conservative and slow. Years ago it was pointed out that Harvard College must be changed from a school of the eighteenth century to a university of the nineteenth century. It is nearly twenty years since the elective system was adopted...
...different kinds of excellence in the orchestra. The performance of the great Beethoven Symphony was one of the best we have heard, and was quite satisfactory in every respect. It was played with a precision, and with a dash and fire that left nothing to be desired. The final movement in particular, the presto, was given with charming delicacy, and accuracy in the softer passages, and an admirably self-controlled vigor in the louder.

This ten has an irregular recover, and a jerkiness in all its movements. Number one, two and three do not make their motions consecutively; four continually changes his girl; five bends his arms too soon; and raises his shoulders; six should sit up higher. And make his movements continuous; seven bends his arms too soon after the catch; eight has an awkward shoulder movement; nine does not follow stroke closely, and bends his arms too soon; stroke hesitates before shooting out his arms, and bends his arms too soon. The above criticisms on the individual members of the two freshmen...
