...deportment. There is much more whole-heartedness in the way they make investments in beer than in their contributions to the Sunday school cause, and vile rumor has insinuated that poker parties are more to the Princetonian taste than are missionary meetings. All in vain has the genial old Scotch president bewailed this condition of affairs. His mild admonitions, his lectures, long drawn out and frequently repeated, his pleas and threats, all alike have fallen on ears disinclined to hearken.

In the Scotch Symphony the orchestra was at its best. This tone-poem has all the wild picturesqueness of Highland scenery, and the quaint scherzo, especially, with its bagpipe melody, is very suggestive of its theme. As in the case of Brahms' first symphony, the several movements of this work were written...
