...complete success, especially in the middle acts. Savery '11, as the Scarecrow, was uneven, but did so well in spots that one may expect a much higher degree of effectiveness in later performances. E. a. C. Layman's face was not meant by nature for that of a Puritan justice; and, in spite of occasional good passages, his mirthful geniality of expression persisted in belying the character he had assumed. Miss Gragg rendered the varying and not entirely convincing moods of the heroine with a charm which was, perhaps, a trifle modern; and Mr. Papazian's capable presentation...
President Eliot will deliver an address on "The Puritan Church and the Puritan College," at a public meeting which will be held in the Old South Church, Boston, this evening at 8 o'clock. The meeting is in honor of Dr. G. A.

He is at present an Overseer of the University and a University preacher...

Justice Overdo, who is present in disguise, is accused and placed in the stocks. Then the Puritan Busy enters, and, filled with fanatical zeal, tries to destroy the gaily-colored booths. He is also put in the stocks, where...
Professor Muensterberg spoke for the German students and teachers of Boston in expressing their regard for Dr. Muck and their regrets at his departure. Philosophy and art both appeal to limited classes of people; music alone makes the universal appeal. New England has always been a Puritan district, into which the Germans are now introducing the aestheticism of their own scholarship. Professor Spalding spoke on the relations which have existed for several years between the University and the Orchestra. Harvard is endeavoring to produce a type of musician broadly educated as well as technically qualified, and to avoid giving...
