...unusual expense of two races, each requiring different boats and arrangements. The boat-builder's bills alone were nearly $2,000. Since then many changes have been made, greatly to the interest of the club, noticeable among them being the transfer of the boat-house property. At this time the management takes perhaps a justifiable pride in presenting the following statement, showing the club...
...features of that dreary region lies in the opportunities for contrasting the behavior of the lovers with that which novel-writers nowadays give to their heroes. On marking the difference, one involuntarily feels almost proud of his century for being in this particular a little less ridiculous than bygone times, although it may outrun them in a thousand other absurdities.

The first piece of Mr. Babcock was an air, "Who treads the Path of Glory?" from Mozart's "Magic Flute." It was a piece which...
...seen, with possibly the exception of the last piece, all these selections were severely classic, such as Thomas might have put on his own programme. But to do such music perfect justice requires more time, labor, and exclusiveness of devotion on the part of the orchestra than men in college can well afford to spend. Wouldn't it be better then for amateurs to have less of the classic and a little more of a lighter school...
