...4tSONG RECITAL. - One of the most interesting recitals announced this season is that of Miss Marie Brema, the mezzo soprano of the Damrosch German Opera Co., and Mr. Plunket Greene, the noted young basso, who will be heard at Music Hall next Tuesday afternoon, April 9th. Miss Brema has been the artistic sensation of the year both in New York and Boston, and the demand for her services outside the opera has been very large.

...present over-development of athletics in the colleges of the country is particularly harmful in its effects upon the preparatory schools. It is not to be expected that young boys should set their ideals higher than those which seem to move their elders; and certainly of all the activities of the college men of today, those directed toward the attainment of the athletic ideal are the most conspicuous. The school boy sees almost no side of college life but the devotion to athletics in one form or another, of which he has constant evidence. The real intellectual work which...
