...field for enterprise. It could easily be "worked" in the cases of all classes of society. A series of illustrations of the rooms of prominent Bostonians, together with accurate histories of the persons in question, and spicy accounts of their personal habits, would be quite in line with this sort of journalism, and would, doubtless, prove entertaining reading. Yet it might be that the subjects of this sort of descriptive writing would object. It is not everybody that cares to invite the world into his chamber to inspect his bric-a-brac, and chat over his personal peculiarities. For this...
...merits and by the excellence of the rendering. While it cannot be said that Mr. Gericke's serenade is the result of genuine inspiration, there is good work there and a very charming composition is the product. There is plenty of room in the world for things of this sort. The unaccustomed division of the programme may have been welcome to the average listener.

But the character and value of the meeting aside, to Harvard men there should be a third consideration. The meeting is given as a benefit to the crew, and as such alone deserves not only support...
...Western poetaster, thus overflowing with sense, would show himself rather a poet than a poetaster if he ever imagined so strange a thing as that any college poet could be a decent model for the verses he wishes to palm off as poetry; and he would show himself a sort of Cambridge top rather than a Western man of practical sense if he took Harvard poetry as his model. Why, take but our little Callanan Courant, with its troop of girls bubbling with merry verses of pleasure and gayety, or flowing at times with the easy pensiveness of that semi...
