The orchestral members of the Pierian and the glees of the club showed careful training on the part of the leaders.

With our courses in Roman law, constitutional...
...from their utter lack of merit) of further consideration than they have yet received. It is really appalling to see how bad verses can be made by one of the "ridiculous poets ;" to be made the unwilling witness of the complete lack of sense and of music their verses show. Recently, we noticed a poem, which, after a lugubrious account of the hollowness of things in general and the fearful yearning of the poet's heart in particular, gave cordial invitation in the last two lines to all the world...
