...more accuracy but less picturesquencess and dash. In some passages the sentences are monotonously short. "Gentlemen and Seamen" treats of the old merchant sea-captains in New England and of Salem, the old seaport for trade with the East. The feeling in the article is good; but the imperfect workmanship and the tendency to moralize give the effect of a school composition. "The Friend," a sonnet, though not quite musical and at the end not quite clear, may be called a "lovable" poem for its fine spirit and its unpretentious truth. The other poem, "The West," shows in the rhythm...
...fine example of the German art of its time. From Mr. Roger A. Derby, the museum has received an Italian painting of the Madonna with St. Catherine, attributed to Luini. Messrs. E. W. Forbes '95, Richard Norton '92, and Alden Sampson '76 have sent a limestone relief of ancient workmanship from Palmyra, and Mr. James Loeb '88 has given 48 casts of ancient marbles, bronzes and terra-cottas from the collection of the late Professor Furtwraengler of Berlin...

Clapp '09, and the irresistibly clever and fascinating Scherzo by G. L. Foote '08. At the same time there was serious thought in the pieces by E. Royce '097 and the trio by R. L. Sweet '08 showed an uncommon power for sustained breadth of phrase. The group of songs showed H. L. Murphy's voice to excellent advantage. The quartets by Brahms and Osgood were well balanced and carefully shaded...
