...stage in the land that produced it. One would think that Americans would show some pride in having "Azara" performed first in America, and would thus encourage the development of a native school of composers instead of forcing the composer to seek recognition abroad. In my opinion the ballet music recently performed is only a fair sample of the whole work, which abounds in beautiful solos for the various characters and also in ensemble effects of striking power. Worthy of especial mention are the beautiful scenes for orchestra and the climaxes to the different acts...
...mastery of his subject his published writings give but fragmentary evidence.

Members of the University are requested to arrive before 7.55, after which time the doors will be open to the public...
...Concerning the site for the projected Union Club-house, my opinion is that the site now occupied by the "Co-operative is the poorest possible. Down on that noisy square, with no pleasant outlook, and squeezed into a corner,--the fact of this being in the College grounds is, in comparison with these disadvantage, of little weight. The location next, on the Foxcroft grounds, is a good one, were there no other available or mentioned; but it is at present away from the line of main movement, though not out of touch, being hard by Memorial Hall and many...
