PRINCETON and Yale are experiencing the effects of the extraordinary religious revival which was started in England by Messrs. Moody and Sankey. The former College was the first in which religious enthusiasm showed itself, and the movement still retains such force there that a recent observer is said to have counted nine prayer-meetings in progress at one time, in a dormitory or an entry which contained but fourteen rooms. A Rev. Dr. Taylor, soon after the revival had begun at Princeton, addressed the Yale undergraduates, and aroused in them an enthusiasm which the labors of two missionaries from Princeton...
...flowers; knocked each other down; cheered for pretty much everything that the Chief Marshal could think of; and finally separated with feelings of triumph or of rage, as they carried away trophies or bruises. Among the participants in this annual rush, the Freshmen have always been prominent. Their youthful enthusiasm has led them to run about, and to fight, and to cheer with an ardor which left the other classes far behind.

This was gratefully received, and served to keep up the drooping spirits of the hearers until the close of the piece...
...with great pleasure, by a large and appreciative audience. That the Symphony should bear the test of being played in the same concert with the second of Beethoven, is sufficient evidence of its intrinsic merit; the first and third movements being particularly beautiful. 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...
