...resignation as the Advisory committee is regarded by the older graduates as a most unfortunate settlement of a disagreement said to have arisen between the students and the committee, a disagreement which they attribute in great part to articles that have appeared in the Herald, and that have created a most unjust spirit of dislike and opposition to Mr. Watson...

Altogether we can anticipate a very enjoyable series of concerts. This is a part of a liberal education which it behooves Harvard men to make the most of, for they have peculiar advantages in this respect. There were not so many present last night as we should have liked to see, an absence for which perhaps the election...
