...have been unconscious of; while those evidences which lay about him might have given some strain to his devotional instincts. The upholders of the mimic scene were quite as striking figures in the boy's memory of what in Southwark he may have seen and must have heard. He could hardly have remembered the "forenoone knell of the great bell," as the church records tell the story, when Edmund Shakspere, in 1607, was buried in St. Saviour's, and when it is fair to suppose that the dead player's brother William was among the mourners. Indeed, this church...
...programme of the Symphony Concert last night in Sanders Theatre was heavier than most of those that have been heard in Cambridge this winter. The first piece was Cherubini's severe and tragical overture, Anacreon, which gave the stringed instruments a particularly good chance to display their purity of tone and their finished style of playing.

Indeed "the finest crew Harvard ever put on the water" has become quite as familiar to us of late as have defeats...
...often happens that lectures at Emmanuel College are delivered in the dining hall before the tables are set for dinner. It was here under the stained glass figure of John Harvard that Mr. Winsor heard a lecture from the historian, Professor Creighton. At one of these lectures Mr. Winsor met a recent graduate of the Harvard Annex who spoke very highly of the work done in history at Emmanuel by Professor Creighton, and also spoke very warmly of the work of Professor Hart at the "Annex...
