Yesterday's Symphony concert, Mr. Monteux conducting, was the second of the Boston series. As often, the eagerly-awaited proved disappointing in the extreme; what was expected to be dull and prosaic was interesting and charming. The Dvorak of the F-major symphony shows himself a skillful musician, interesting if not thrilling, original if not "radical", pleasing if not powerful--altogether charming. Particularly in the first three movements did he display his fertile imagination, flowing melodic invention, and dainty skill in orchestration. There is a cleanness and purity that resembles Mozart, with none of the muddiness which occasionally mars...
Those who read the Lampoon regularly have long grown accustomed to a dull Freshman Number at the beginning of the year. For apparently summer vacations do not lighten the touch of the Muses; and even the Bacchanalian revels of those editors who re-create abroad seem to weigh heavily upon a jester's pen. This being so, the quantity of amusing verses, apothgems and drawings in the current number augurs well for a good year of the magazine. Several pages, it is true, are obviously filled with stuffing--with the tatulent buffoonery which comes of labored writing. Almost invariably...
...shout goes up--this is an age of specialization; a man must live. Yet there is a perfectly good answer to these objections. The young Chaucers will take care of themselves, never fear; for the rest of us a consciousness that all specialization and no play makes Jack a dull boy will be necessary.

Knocking out 23 hits to a ragged fielding combination the University baseball team easily defeated the Colby nine by a score of 20-0 at Soldiers Field yesterday afternoon. After a dull start the Crimson batters found the ball, and slowly increasing the pressure on the visiting pitcher, piled up 15 runs and forced him from the mound. But at this point the Colby fielders fell down and a series of errors gave the University nine a chance to make the most of several hits. The Crimson fielding, however, was flawless and this together with steady battery work kept...
...vice-president of a New York City bank he states that no college man succeeds in business who would not have succeeded anyway. What is more, a course in Liberal Arts may even dull the business acumen and clog the mind with things not needed. But that is as it should be according to Mr. Emerson, for college trains not for life but for living. The four "wasted" years should not pack the mind with encyclopedic facts or change the brain into an animated Spanish dictionary. Instead they should serve to pile up a store, a credit account of satisfaction...
