...team leaves for Hanover, N. H., this noon to meet the strong Dartmouth gymnasts in its second contest of the season. The University was defeated by Brown by the score of 28 to 26 two weeks ago; and as Dartmouth recently tied the Providence team a close contest may well be expected in tonight's meet in Alumni Gymnasium.

He received the degree of Master of Arts from Columbia in 1896, and of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Chicago...
...music is extremely good, though improvement might have been made in the orchestration. The orchestra is entirely professional and well emphasizes music that is decidedly catchy. The voices, both solo and chorus, are far above the ordinary...
