...annual spring concert of the Pierian Sodality Orchestra will take place on April 14 in Sanders Theatre. An unusual program has been arranged, which is made up entirely of ancient music. The harpsichord and clavier parts will be played upon a pianoforte, so constructed as to combine the tone of the ancient pianoforte with the advantages which modern acoustical studies have made possible. Mr. Dolmetsch, who is an eminent authority on ancient music, has taken personal interest in the preparation of the program. The flute concerto, supposed to be by Christian Bach, was discovered in manuscript but a short time...
Professor Merriman writes with bubbling enthusiasm of the winter quarter. The articles of interest on the last few months include one on the late Dean Wright by his temporary successor, Professor Smyth, loving and sympathetic in tone towards one to whose unfailing kindness all graduate students of recent years owe a debt never to be forgotten. Dean Haskins is welcomed in a cordial editorial. Mr. R.H. Dana as laudator temporis acti shows that last year's success in rowing is due to a return to earlier ways. Professor Jackson gives a review of the work of the late Wolcott Gibbs...

In "Will Ellis" a situation is described in which a tragedy is inevitable--the passionate protest of an ignorant mountaineer against the invasion of his domain by a railway; the tragedy comes quite naturally. "A romance...
...football question is always with us. Professor Royce's recent discussion of it is here made the occasion of two more, one on either side. The present reviewer finds the so-called reply to Professor Royce not at all to his taste. The tone of the article is unfortunate, its style violent, its though confused. The following paragraph is typical in its hopeless lack of logic: "Parenthetically as to 'loyalty', it is one of the moral values that I least admire. It usually implies a subjection of your own sentiments and convictions. A high enterprise needs no appeal to loyalty...
