That Mr. Alloo was eminently qualified to lead the Orchestra is attested by the success which the Pierian has attained this year. For although at the beginning of the past year the material out of which to build an orchestra was not one to boast of as compared with that of previous years, yet the Pierian developed so consistently that its performance more than equalled that of any past year. The program of modern French and Flemish music given at the Annual Concert in Sanders Theatre was a difficult one for any amateur orchestra to undertake, particularly the symphony...
Although the University possesses no conspicuous stars, the large squad of experienced runners available promises well for the success of the season. Captain A. R. Bancroft '17, W. P. Whitehouse, 2d, '17 and G. A. King '18 are the most dependable men. W. D. Hutchinson '19, captain of last year's Freshman team, should be well up with the leaders. Other good men include R. H.

Prospects for continued success were given a severe jolt last week when it was found that Captain Stafford had developed water on the knee after his collision with first baseman Palmer of the M. A. C. team in Tuesday's contest, and that outfielder Leland, the heaviest hitter on the team, had torn some ligaments in his leg. But with a patched-up team, the Middlebury aggregation was defeated on Thursday, mainly through Krepps's fine performance...
