...Glee Club carried off the honors in the matter of encores, the Pierian was not behind in real success. Of course there was noticeable at times the roughness and lack of precision which is the unavoidable accompaniment of an amateur performance; while in one place there was a distressing want of harmony in the reed instruments, yet all such blemishes were of wonderfully rare occurrence. Meyerbeer's imposing march won a well deserved encore. Mr. Hillebrand's solo may be truly said to be artistic. It was a rendering which would have been creditable to a much more experienced player...
...influences to which they are exposed with very different results. Another subject of the very greatest importance to health is food. Exercise for persons of sedentary habits is of prime importance. Cleanliness and sleep are too well known as requirements of good health to need much comment. We want to make ourselves sound in wind and limb, in heart and brain. We are all glad to be freed from aches or pains; how much better if we avoid some portion of them.

One faction would have us avoid all following after English ways; the other faction protests against such a "narrowing down of our models," and urges us to be Englishmen if we think Englishmen superior to Americans. This apparent contradiction is rather...
...feels, in trying to choose his profession, as if he were about to embark on an unknown sea. The language is simple. The ideas are easy of comprehension. If they could be read and digested by all college men, the next generation will find fewer educated men in want. The number of men to-day, who, with all the training of a university routine, could yet, if they chose, recite a tale of dreary hope against hope, is too large. Mr. Rawle evidently laments this fact, and his address, if appreciated, is certainly calculated to be of material benefit...
