...York critics do not think as much of Strauss' latest operetta, "The Merry War," as those of Europe. "Strauss," says one writer, "as he shows himself to us in 'Die Lustige Krieg,' is no longer the Strauss of 'Die Fledermaus.' Everything is well written, in a scholarly and artistic manner, the orchestra is discreetly and always elegantly handled; but there is also a nearly total absence of that spontaneity, that musical humor and sparkling freshness, which made 'Die Fledermaus' so delightful.

We cannot but think that in this the News is overstepping the proper limit to the functions of a college daily. But if the News with such peculiar humor as is contained in its first supplement can please the Yale public, we wish it all success in its new venture...
...commons; or how well they could avoid the errors into which we have fallen. Understand us, that we find no fault with those who have hitherto managed the hall, but we feel that unavoidable mistakes have happened, not been made, from the very nature of the circumstances, and we think it has been shown conclusively that students cannot manage a dining association of the size and importance of Memorial Hall. There is only one resource left; let the authorities see that it is taken advantage...
