...found out about the affair and asked for news on it. With scarcely any exaggeration a newspaper story of the yellowist description might have been written, but the correspondents agreed among themselves to suppress the worst particulars and to send in only such an account as should cast no reproach on the gentleman referred to, or on the University. Surely, when these facts are understood, no one can longer blame the Harvard representatives of the Boston newspapers for their action in the matter, or for the accounts they wrote.

The promenade concerts between the acts by the string band in the foyer are an enjoyable diversion. The orchestra and chorus, both enlarged for the summer productions, are trained to high excellence, and under the efficient leadership of Max Hirschfeld are gaining in entertaining power every...
