...progress which since that time has taken place in the departments of the University under the charge of this Faculty, as well as in its other schools, is far greater than has been made in any like period since the foundation of Harvard College. That progress has been not merely a growth in numbers, wealth, and intellectual resources, not merely an advance along old and conspicuous lines; but a transformation of nature and spirit, a new birth of university life. President Eliot formed here, at his accession, many survivors of a group of men of distinguished talents and learning...

To this growth, no other man has contributed so much as President Eliot...

The few concerts which the clubs are allowed to give offer little enough inducement for the display of patience and spirit throughout the long period of practice, and not to have these few well patronized would be a sore disappointment. The concert will be the only one given in Cambridge...
