...little is devoted for the maintenance of the academic staff. The result of this is very bad, as the writer proves. The professors have to rely for their support on lecturing, writing for magazines, and other outside work, neglecting their courses. Another bad result is that young men of talent, naturally fitted for teachers, are deterred from entering academic careers...
...Yale Men Say," but this of course would not do for all occasions. In fact; this song seems to be so little known that the compiler of the new song book gives the words in entirely different shape from the common version. There certainly should be enough talent among Harvard men, graduates and undergraduates, to produce a stirring song worthy of the college: In Germany, at many musical festivals, it is the custom for the audience to rise to their feet when the performers on the stage are giving the national bymn.

...entertainment given last evening by the Pi Eta Society was excellent in every respect.

Whenever the panorama of beauty and talent is on the stage, soloists sink into insignificance; chorus and music are alike forgotten, and the attention of every one is fixed on what are generally supposed to be the minor parts of an opera, but are so no longer. No; a revolution has taken place, and hereafter, thanks to the tender watchfulness of Harvard, the "supe" will be the great attraction. The examples of the success...
