...Nine all the encouragement in our power by sending a large delegation to New Haven. The liberal terms offered by the New York and New England road make it possible for many to go who have been prevented hitherto only by the expense; and the loss of time need not be so great, for it is perfectly possible, by leaving Boston in the nine o'clock morning train to reach New Haven in time to see the game.

Even the strongest constitution and the most faithful exercise will...
...forte passage was immediately followed by a delicate pianissimo. "The Water-Lily" had much fine work in it, but seemed in spots weak, on account of the straining on the first tenor part. "The Three Glasses" and the "Champagne Song" seemed to be the most popular. The College songs need no special comment...
