...afraid that most of us are losing a fine opportunity for studying real works of art under the best possible circumstances, and this is because, in spite of a few brief notices, information on the subject is still lacking...
...Fine writing, we are confident, is not the desideratum in a college paper of the present time. Our numerous predecessors aspired to long and highly literary articles, and failed; their wrecks, scattered along the course of college journalism here, serve to warn college papers of the present day not to follow their course, if they would prosper.

Ilma di Murska has certainly a brilliant voice and marvellous execution, but is not a singer who appeals to the feelings, nor does one care to hear her many times. Tamberlik may have been a fine singer twenty-five years ago, but at present he is not much superior to Mario, the prince of broken-down tenors. In fact, the combination of Mme. Rudersdorff and Tamberlik, occasioned by the illness of Mme. Lucca, is something unprecedented, and forcibly suggests the idea of the "music of bygone...
