...first part, the andante and menuetto movement were most cordially received by the audience, while Mendelssohn's Scherzo seemed to be the favorite number in the second part. As in the last concert given here by this quartet, the number of college men present was few. When such splendid opportunities for hearing the highest and purest form of music are presented to us, it is difficult to understand why men do not avail themselves of these privileges. The next concert will be on March 21st...
...when they can enjoy the fine ice on Fresh Pond uninterrupted rather than struggle over the rough ice on the Glacial is in the afternoon. If the policeman was paid to warn men away from the thin ice he would be doing a much more useful work, and the splendid ice on Fresh Pond could be enjoyed by every one. The regulation that forbids the enjoyment of perfectly safe ice seems to us more than nonsensical-it is unjust and outrageous-and we hope some appeal will be made to the mayor to abolish...
...victory over Yale last fall. If it had been necessary for the money for the trophies to be raised by subscription, we should have been slow to believe that the class of Ninety-two would not come forward promptly and generously with the necessary amount.

...suitable trophies for the members and substitutes on the football team. No action, however, seems to have been taken in the matter. Is this suggestion of the CRIMSON to be disregarded?

The men deserve some recognition of their splendid victory over Yale, and in later years such trophies, if given, will be pleasant mementos of the freshman year at Harvard. If the practice of giving trophies, whenever the finances permit, to members of championship-winning teams is established, it will, I think, be an additional incentive to good work...
...water around the Shawmut Boat Club house at South Boston is free from ice nearly all winter and offers splendid opportunities for rowing. The Shawmut Club has very kindly consented to leave their floats down during the winter, and will allow the 'varsity crew to keep a boat there and use the boat house as often as they please. Yesterday afternoon a crew composed of Herrick (stroke), Finlay, Tilton, Perkins, '91, Winthrop, Parker, '91, Cumnock, and Storrow (bow)-J. Storrow, L. S., cox-rowed down through the bridges and around to the Shawmut boat house, where they left the boat...
