...Pierian Sodality gave its one hundred and seventh annual concert in Sanders Theatre last evening with a program of unusual interest including Borodin's First Symphony, Beethoven's Overture to Coriolanus, Handel's Concerto Grosso No. 20 and the Hungarian March from Berlioz' "Damnation of Faust." The choice of Borodin's Symphony was felicitous both from the historical standpoint and that of intrinsic merit. Would that more conductors of symphony orchestras might follow Mr. Hewitt's example.

The Pierian Sodality, for its earnest and long continued efforts to bring good music before the College, deserves the heartiest support of the undergraduate body. Those who are at all musically inclined will be amply repaid for attending this evening's performance...
