...done remarkably well in face of the general lack of interest shown in the Pierian of late years. He has had much to overcome of poor individual playing and listlessness. The Glee Club was at its best in its last appearance, was repeatedly encored and really did itself honor. Mr. Swarts in his "Capture of Bacchus" is able to show his clear full tones at a great advantage and was heartily encored. The quartette made a great success in "Mary's Little Wise Lamb."

This is the opinion of the conservative element. Having reduced the contests to Harvard and Yale, the faculty feel that they can bring sufficient pressure to bear upon the Yale faculty...
...contest which is not mere play by any means. If they wish even to approach the record made by Eighty-nine two years ago, they will need to put forth the strongest efforts. They must remember that they are about to engage in a contest for the athletic honor of their university as well as that of their class. We trust that by the end of the week all the class nines will be on the field, in order that the struggle may be as close as possible...
