...purposes which the college paper accomplishes in American college life are numerous and important. It is, in the first place, a mirror of undergraduate sentiment, and is either scholarly or vulgar, frivolous or dignified, as are the students who edit and publish it. A father, therefore, debating where to educate his son, would get a clearer idea of the type of moral and intellectual character which a college forms in her students from a year's file of their fortnightly paper, than from her annual catalogue or the private letters of her professors. To the college officers, also...
...very interesting to observe how Liszt has treated the famous "Lorelei." He analyzes the poem line by line, and uses the music to color the sentiment of the words in a manner peculiarly his own; the instrumentation is of course perfect. We consider it a mistake, however, to subject Heine's great poem to dramatic or consecutive treatment. It is essentially Iyric in structure and spirit, and the simple touching melody written to it many years ago by Silcher is much better adapted to its character, and will scarcely be superseded by this modern version. In the Scotch Symphony...
...look carefully into this matter and consider the true sentiment of the class. In the first place, there was but a trifle over half the members of the class present. It is safe to assume that none of the absent members were very desirous of rowing Cornell, but were indifferent about the matter; and when a man is indifferent about having a crew, he is also very loath to support it with the necessary funds. There were also a few men who did not vote at all, and who, almost without exception, opposed the sending of a crew...
...have received several letters from Freshmen, - one of which we print, - claiming that the vote at the class meeting held last week was not a fair expression of the sentiment of the class, and urging that the race with Cornell be abandoned. The dread of being beaten and the objection to spending money on anything which is not remunerative seem to be the causes of the unhealthy tone in these communications. We trust they embody the views of a very small minority of the class. The interests of the University demand that a Freshman crew should be supported and trained...
...with a fifteen, they replied that they had understood we were training an eleven only, though they owned that the information came from no authoritative source. Captain Cushing at last said he would not play them this year, with either fifteen or eleven men, and he has expressed the sentiment of the College. The game with fifteen has various advantages that cannot be mentioned here; it is the game the principal colleges wish to play, and Yale admits that she must, and is willing to, come to it next year. We hope she may succeed, between now and then...
