...Friends of Music are interesting people. Their program consists of those many fine out-of-the-way compositions that rarely or never get performed anywhere else. Last Sunday afternoon they presented Schubert's Mass in E Flat, the most charming of ecclesiastical music, an excellent example of old Schubert's ingratiating sweetness. Which recalls that a good deal of the world's very loveliest composition is to be found in that superb art form, the Mass...
...North Church, the birthplace of Paul Revere. Nor need it go so far afield for novelties: the glass flowers in the Agassiz Museum, common topic of conversation, though they may be, are almost as little known as the Arboretum in remote Jamaica. A little browsing amongst out-of-the-way places in the vicinity has its own rewards; furthermore, it serves double duty in the General Examination of tea-table discourse...
News of the completion of arrangements for a triangular indoor meet between Dartmouth, Harvard and Cornell comes as a welcome harbinger of the expansion of Dartmouth's athletic policy.

Princeton has been the leader in this movement and it is from her that we have learned that it is possible to treat your opponents like friends, not like allen enemies.

...seem they ought to be willing to accept a man at his own value--according to that man's ability, his intellectual vigor, his social capacity. Is this the case, or is there not rather a wide gulf between those who live in the little frame houses in out-of-the-way streets, and those who inhabit the gold coast; those who make the clubs, and those who don't? One could hardly object if the aristocracy of the College were one of intellect, but I am sure that Mr. Lloyd knows that it is not. At Yale or Dartmouth...
