...through ignorance or modesty fail to become candidates for the University Orchestra. To these men I should like to say that positions in the Orchestra are open to players of ordinary as well as superior ability, and that orchestral experience is not a necessary qualification. The Pierian offers a rare opportunity to develop latent powers, to become acquainted with orchestral methods, and to play both pieces of a purely popular character, and works of the master-composers. Past members will testify that work in the Orchestra is equivalent to a course in music; members of the Faculty are eager...
Professor Bestelmeyer, entering upon his task with earnest enthusiasm and rare insight, has produced a plan remarkably consistent and simple and at the same time strikingly original. The Corporation have at once accepted it and authorized him to proceed with elaborating the working plans and specifications. In this Professor Bestelmeyer will be assisted by our own Professor H.

Whether or not a sermon may be justly termed a "dull, uninteresting lecture" is more or less a matter of opinion. The CRIMSON'S opinion on this point differs radically from that expressed in the Advocate editorial. In few churches are poor sermons so rare and exceptional sermons so frequent as in Appleton Chapel. A reading of the Advocate editorial would lead one to believe that seldom are distinguished preachers brought to the Chapel. A glance at the list of men who have preached this year will show that there have been but few Sundays when the pulpit...
