...series draws to a close, the audiences which are gathered in Sanders, by the Symphony concerts, seem to increase in numbers: and that of last night was the largest that has yet attended. The programme was as follows...
...delusive close brought out the usual premature applause, and the effect of the last few bars was spoiled. The Mozart "Jupiter" Symphony, which formed the principal part of the programme, met with a very unenthusiastic reception from the audience. In fact, in this direction Mr. Gericke does not seem to have at all accurately measured the wants and tastes of Cambridge audiences. It is really too bad that in such a short series we should not be permitted to hear the very best symphonies of Beethoven, and the more modern composers exclusively. With all due respect to the great name...
...claimed that this single exception proved the rule. But we understand from reliable sources that many of the organizations at our sister college, (if we may call such masculine rival as Yale by this term), are only a little better off than is the lacrosse association. It would seem therefore that the stories of Yale enthusiasm, passing from mouth to mouth, have become greatly exaggerated in their transmission, or else that the year 1885 is to be made memorable by a change in the Yale spirit.

I look up the first reference...
...members; guests have been invited, several of whom have accepted; the literary festivities of the evening have been arranged by competent persons, and everything has been done to make the dinner a success. The rest remains with the individual members of the club. As yet, however, they do not seem inclined to second these efforts. A ridiculously small number of men have signed the book at Bartlett's. All names must be put down in the book to-day, or given to some member of the committee. As the dinner will undoubtedly be a very enjoyable affair...
