...outburst of sound caught her ear, and woke her up again. From the pineclad forests of Maine to the billowy praries of the boundless West; from the frozen confines of the region where the Bates Student pipes its lay to the faraway abode of the Kansas University Review, she heard a swelling chorus resounding in her praise. All her contemporaries were saying nice things about her. The Delaware College Review declared that the Advocate was full of interesting reading. The Virginia University Magazine affirmed that it almost wanted to send the Advocate the price of subscription. And, therefore...
...harpsichord, clavichord, etc., a variety of instruments like the piano, were in common use at this time. A very interesting feature of the lecture was the performance of a piece by Conperin, on a veritable old spinet,- a small box-like affair, with scarcely enough tone to be heard; on the whole a very funny effect. Among the other examples of the early writers were several old English pieces, of the first half of the 17th century, especially a "Hunting Jigg," by Dr. John Bull, a celebrated player on the "Virginal," an instrument much like the clarichord; likewise...

In the subject matter of his lecture there was much that was of necessity somewhat trite, but the sombre current of the subject was lightened by many gleams of anecdote and wit. At many passages in which the lecturer rose to the height of true...
...same eventful day. But, even on this great occasion, the college exulted without firecrackers and horns; and, furthermore, this was the only celebration of the year. Now, however, a class victory is sufficient to turn the college into an uproar, and often the boom of the firecracker is heard in the yard merely when some individual is festive on his own account. And yet this noisy sort of hilarity is forbidden by the regulations. The connection between these forbidden demonstrations and the Athletic committee, if there is one, (we merely offer the suggestion) lies in the numerous restrictions the committee...
