...York critics do not think as much of Strauss' latest operetta, "The Merry War," as those of Europe. "Strauss," says one writer, "as he shows himself to us in 'Die Lustige Krieg,' is no longer the Strauss of 'Die Fledermaus.' Everything is well written, in a scholarly and artistic manner, the orchestra is discreetly and always elegantly handled; but there is also a nearly total absence of that spontaneity, that musical humor and sparkling freshness, which made 'Die Fledermaus' so delightful. The score contains various pretty numbers, but they are all more or less the product of labor rather than...
...sorry to be compelled to again call attention to a fact which strengthens us in our conviction that the affairs of Memorial have been conducted in a most negligent manner. On all sides are heard the just complaints of men who at some time during this term have signed their names petitioning for an allowance for absence, in some cases temporary, in others permanent. These men are surprised, to say the least, to find that on their term-bills there is no credit for any rebate. Had this happened in only a few cases, we should have been inclined...
...considerable interest. The first bout was between W. A. Henry, Jr., S. S., and S. H. Ordway, L. S. Ordway won the bout by 7 points to 3. In the second bout the contest was between W. O.

Underwood was the more cool and skilful, while McDonald showed great activity and quickness, although he was awkward and lacked science. The bout was awarded to Underwood by a score of 7 points...
...this round Smith succeeded in getting in some pretty and telling hits, but the bout was awarded to Spalding by the judges. The second bout brought forward Joseph Dorr, Jr., '83, and E. K. Butler, Jr., 83. Both parties in the first round sparred in a very lively manner, exciting much applause. Popular feeling seemed in favor of Butler, on account of his slighter build. Dorr sparred continuously and made every blow tell. Butler was very quick and made several very skilful cross-counters. At the end of the second round both men appeared fresh and no blood had been...
...such an organization, and all will agree that it is high time for steps to be taken to prevent the almost proverbial victory of Yale's Freshman Nines. Many minor advantages could be suggested, such as the extra inducement for regular practice to foot-ball men, a more efficient manner of training for 'Varsity substitutes, and the evidently desirable opportunity for the regular 'Varsity to practice as a nine instead of separately, as is now necessary. If a second nine is to be formed it is surely time to take the first steps, and we hope it will be immediately...
