...showed that greater confidence is now felt in the ability of the instrumentalists. The performance of this part of the programme was quite up to the usual standard. The "Turkish March" by Beethoven was particularly well received. The effect of the "Pizzicato Polka" was somewhat marred by an unfortunate want of harmony in the brass. A very pleasing episode occured after this piece, when Mr. Cary, president of the Sodality, stepped forward and in behalf of the members, presented Mr. Forchheimer with a gold-tipped baton as a token of their appreciation of the zeal and efficiency with which...

At present Divinity Hall embraces a library, a dormitory and lecture rooms. As the new building will make the lecture rooms and the library superfluous, these rooms will be changed into sleeping apartments, and the whole...
...Princetonian, Yale News, and CRIMSON. It was thought that the rivalry engendered between the schools would give increased interest to the sport, and at the same time would develop promising candidates for the different college nines. No argument was brought forward against the formation of a league, but want of interest at some of the schools whose support was necessary and lack of vigorous action by the leaders are the causes of the apparent failure. It is earnestly hoped that further consideration and more determined efforts another year will bring success to a project so feasible and so advantageous...
