...overture to "Der Freischuetz," though not a new one to Cambridge people, was never heard to better advantage here. The horn passages in the first parts are deserving of special comment and praise. The purity of these tones and delicacy of their execution was truly admirable. Owing to some misunderstanding about the piano the Unfinished Symphony was given before the Bruch selection. The audience showed a lively appreciation of Schubert's masterpiece and without doubt it was the favorite of the programme. Gericke brought out the melodic beauties of the work with true artistic feeling. The soloist of the evening...
...force of Individualism is illustrated by the works of Lessing, Herder, Schiller and Goethe. Germans may well be proud of Lessing, for throughout his life he fought for noble causes.

The endeavor was pre-eminently successful, and what was the result? A crushing defeat, such as had never been seen upon the Thames. At one time in the race there was almost half a mile between the two crews. Yale, naturally enough, retained the principles, the efficacy of which she had tested, and gave even a better exhibition of rowing than the Harvard crew...
...Venetians invested Athens. During the bombardment of the Acropolis, the Parthenon was laid in ruins. By this siege, however, Athens was brought to the front in European politics, and the interest of scholars in the investigation of Athenian antiquities revived. It has never lessened since that time, indeed, has not reached its height...
