...glee club and a freshman banjo club have been among the first organizations to be effected. This year, so far as we can ascertain, the glee club has not progressed so far as to select a leader and no banjo club has been formed at all. We suspect the fault lies chiefly with the 'varsity organizations, which have a general charge of the beginning of the freshman clubs, but which have been absorbed this year in the Christmas trip.

The trouble is that people try to judge themselves and past generations by the standards which they have made for themselves, and which are, accordingly, sure to be misleading.

His conceptions are always so excellent that one feels quite justified in taking them as standard, but if he has any fault it is that of being a trifle sentimental. The introductory adagio, as also the adagio third movement, might have seemed to some tastes a little exaggerated, but altogether the performance was by far the most satisfactory that has been heard here within recent years. The Lohengrin prelude showed the conductor...
