...soloists were Mme. Lilian Norton and Mr. Franz Kneisel. Mme. Norton suffered from a slight cold and the consequent huskiness at times marred the effect of her singing.

Norton failed to catch the spirit of the Lassen song according to our previously conceived idea of it, but that by Forster was sung with much more feeling, and was marred only by the huskiness before mentioned. In response to a recall, she gave Gurlitt's "Messenger," in which she was even...
...hare and hounds run yesterday afternoon, was very successful. The hares were Oakes, '87, and Austin, '87, and a very large number of hounds, about fifty in all, followed them.

Dudley, '87, and Dana, '88, started from the front of Matthews at 4.20, and they were followed after the regulation interval by a pack of thirty hounds with Webster, '87, master, at their head. The track lay first through Prof. Norton's woods and the grounds at Sandy Hill, then into Somerville, up over Winter Hill and through the back yards of "Goatville." Passing out from that delightful quarter the hounds were speeded on their way by the youthful portion of the population. College Hill and Tufts College were passed...
