...last number of the Crimson I noticed a reply to an article upon College Politics, which I wrote a few weeks ago. The reply was written in a very excited vein. The writer, who was much displeased with my sentiments, neglected to refute my arguments, and contented himself with a somewhat rambling description, founded upon premises of his own. In his indignation he forgot the courtesy which it is customary to observe in such matters, and his attacks upon me were so violent that, although I have no wish to enter upon a prolonged discussion, I feel that...

The adagio was received with unmistakable enthusiasm; and at the end the audience insisted on calling Mr. Paine before the house. Although written in strict conformity with the dogmas of the classical school, traces of Wagner's all-pervading influence were noticeable in the first movement (allegro con brio), and in the last (allegro vivace). We should certainly take pride in the success of our Professor in a branch of art so rarely attempted...
