...Lamb." Mr. Carpenter's yodel will be greatly missed another year, as it has formed one of the most attractive parts of the programmes for several years. The last number of the evening was the "College Lyric" which was composed by Leo Lewis, '88. It shows a well-developed talent, though a little too difficult for the Pierian, and the chorus was rather heavy. The programme was much shorter than usual, but was lengthened by the encores...

A very commendable feature is that the contestants are not confined to a given set of subjects, but are allowed to choose congenial topics. All matter must be sent before...
...development s conducive to human perfection. For the term of their earthly pilgrimage they are more inseparable and more independent than the horse and its rider. Hence we must improve. strengthen, enrich and harmonize the powers of the physical organism before we can reasonably expect to see aptitude, energy, talent and learning grow on the tree of life. That alone is a good education which gives to the body and the soul all the perfection and beauty of which they are susceptible...
