Princeton presented almost the same team which won for the orange and black the championship pennant of 1884, and the style of play and ability of the men were the same as last year. The reason that Harvard won this year was that the team was stronger, and played with some system, something which it lacked a year ago. The defence were much less liable to be rattled than formerly, but can still afford to keep a little more nerve on hand when a desperate rush is made upon them. The centre fielders played all around their opponents...
...Boston papers last year criticised quite severely the "lifeless action and more lifeless diction" of the speakers as they were pleased to express it, this criticism arose from a mistaken idea of the true art of elocution, gained, perhaps, from a too great familiarity with the old style back country college oration. Mr. Jones's method in teaching is now beginning to bear up its fruits. His intention to inculcate naturalness both in voice and gesture, has led him to introduce reforms into the modes of declamation which have hitherto shown themselves to be productive of the highest success.

...tier of seats recently erected on Holmes Field between the college hospital and the Hasty Pudding building will prove a considerable addition to the attractions of the field. While the style of architecture prevailing in the structure is not startlingly beautiful, yet, by contrast with the crazy, gaunt, old benches, it is rather refreshing to the eye.

...idea advanced by several late writers, Wagner among others, Prof. Paine regarded entirely unforunded. The 5th symphony is as great as the 9th, and the purely instrumental forms since Beethoven are as worthy of admiration as the operas and symphonic poems of Wagner, Berlioz and Lizst. Beethoven's style was illustrated by the great trioop. 97, played by Messrs. Lichtenberg, Jonas and Perabo, and by the Kreutzer Sonata by Lichtenberg and Perabo. The names of these artists mean simply that the perform nice was of the very highest merit...
Commenting on the styles of rowing shown by the Oxford and Cambridge crews in their recent annual races on the Thames river, London, the London Sportsman says: "The Cantabs this year seemed to have dropped back into that light and ineffective style which many people thought they had abandoned. We have previously pointed out that the light dipping stroke will never succeed against the long and powerful pull which is in favor among the oarsmen on the Isis. The men were well trained, though, perhaps, one or two were, to adopt a technical term, "drawn" a little fine. They, however...
