...Sanborn, distinctly lacks melody, and contains several unmusical halting lines. The feeling is strong and the expression good. "A Second Empedocles," by Mr. Sanford, is, to say the least, a strange effort. It is incongruous and decidedly lacks force. The Latin quotations mar the form and weaken the passion aimed at by the writer. One does not quote a Latin translation of Homer in the death agony; and for a Stoic to die with Horace on his lips provokes undesirable reasoning...
...author's going beyond himself, to paint what he has neither seen nor felt. Of course you can often relate what you have not actually beheld; but still you must have something on which to base your ideas; you must have before you a real fact or passion which you may idealize...
...with good interpretation. The Adagio was full of expression and depth, and the brilliant Presto was played with a good deal of fire. The Andante from the Svendsen quartet proved to be the most enjoyable number of the evening. The rendering of it brought out well its romance and passion.

The Listemann quartet as now constituted, contains the best players that are to be had. Its only weak point...

So perfectly was the comper's idea expressed that toward the close of the second movement the intensity of feeling became almost painful. The scherzo, following this, makes so much of a contrast that...
...recitations with scrupulous regularity. For once let it be known to the world that the students of Harvard are men, and although indifferent to such trifles as home and friends and turkey, are not indifferent to learning and wisdom and college law. It is silly to be ruled by passion, by impulse. Rather we should silence all the feelings that make us look away from Cambridge, and give ourselves wholly to the quest of learning, wholly to the control of reason. Love, home, turkey away! What has the Harvard man to do with you? He is a student, nothing less...
