Saint Saen's septet for trumpet, strings and piano, formed the piece de resistance, a work which in spite of obvious defects has a strange attraction considering the archaic and persistently impersonal character of its musical sentiment. It is, however, well worth hearing, if only to mark the enormous advance in chamber music achieved by modern French composers. The performance was exceptionally good as to ensemble, especial distinction is due Mr. Anderson for his trumpet playing, and to Mr. Clifton for his sensitive and well-balanced reading of the piano part...
...that the excitement of the Yale game has subsided, there has arisen a widespread sentiment that the football rules are more responsible for the dissatisfying result than any other factor. The weakening of the offence by the ten yard rule and the prohibition of all pushing and pulling of the man with the ball has made it very hard for a team to make first down against an opponent its equal in strength when the play is in the middle of the field, and well-nigh impossible when close to the goal-line.

But whether there or here in Cambridge, each member of the University has the hope of a successful outcome of today's contest uppermost in his mind...
Such far-reaching agreements are evidence of a great increase in the community of international interests. An arbitration treaty will not of itself stop war,--it is merely an indication of public sentiment. Since the beginning of time there has been scarcity and consequent conflict of desire among men. The savage thought that a fight with his fellow was the only solution of the problem, if there was but food enough for one. At present two civilized nations think that war is the only solution, if there are sufficient foreign trade markets for but one. The present propaganda for international...
