Schumann's first Symphony was appropriately chosen, for it is called the "Spring Symyhony," his own title, because the idea is supposed to be counected with Spring. This Symphony was written when Schumann was not thoroughly acquainted with the orchestra, and the joke of his writing too low notes for the horns and trumpets, ignorant of the fact that they could not be played, is well known. The finale is very masterly and impressive, with solemn trombone passages and well worked out. The Symphony was played with excellent spirit and expression...
...discreditable to each individual member of the nine. Those who have watched the work of the Ninety-six cannot fail to notice this same unfortunate tendency. The men do not seem to realize the final test which they will be called upon to make, or else their idea of the responsibility of representing their college must be a very low one. Ninety-six starts out with bright prospects for a strong nine, but not for a moment can sheexpect to do justice to herself to say nothing of wining the Princeton game, so long as this present happy-go-lucky...

...with examples of the club's work. Georgianna A. Boutwell contributes "Silas Deane and the coming of Lafayette," an interesting historical article showing us how much we owe to Silas Deane for the coming of Lafayette to America. A. L. Perry has an article "Protection," giving a very good idea of the protective system. J. P. Pollad the young Chicago writer, is the author of the short story of the number "The Convict Who Escaped." It is rather a striking story. "Andy Rick's Handy Tricks," another short story written by L. K. Meekins, one of the editors...
...wonderful success which attended the efforts of the Greek department encouraged the projectors of the scheme to hope that something similar might be given at a later date. They conceived then the idea of producing a Latin play, but it seemed too much of an attempt after the experience they had just undergone and only recently has the plan matured. It is, in a way, a stupendous undertaking. The average person can little realize the difficulties which are ever presenting themselves. The point which has constantly to be kept in mind is to give as exact a reproduction...
