...last number of the Exonian contains some very peppery remarks about the freshman game in particular and Harvard in general, which seem to have been caused by over excitement...
...orchestra does not seem to have suffered from the changes which have been made in it. Some roughness was perceptible in the playing, but this was probably due to the unaccustomed nearness of the listener. The "Faust" overture was very finely played, all the crescendo's and the principal climax being well worked up. The symphony, the work of a young Viennese, of not much experience in orchestral writing, is a truly musicianly and interesting composition. Although not sketched in the broad proportions we find in Beethoven and Schumann, it has the true symphonic character. Of the four movements...

At present the men seem to think that as they play a little better than the unsuccessful candidates, they are sure to remain on the team. The captain ought to be doing his best all the time to work up new men, and the old men should be dismissed at once if they get into loose habits of playing...
