...very characteristic, especially the Nocturne; in fact, we know of no other single composition in which the peculiar and almost unique beauty of this thought is so clearly marked. This number was encored, and during the few seconds of applause certain men of '82 manifested an astounding desire to warm the hands. Mr. Paine's performance impressed us as notably conscientious in the fugue of the Beethoven op. 110 and in the Chopin Tarentelle...
...community, to employ this opportunity of enabling the public to hear piano-forte music of a high order. Be that as it may, these of us who do attend could then, at least, enjoy the concert under more favorable conditions. Boylston Hall must either be oppressively close and warm, especially in the back part, or those sitting in that part of the room must be in danger of freezing.

The Elective System came, bringing with it a chilling atmosphere which I am too weak to bear; and so I am dying, - yes, freezing - freezing to death! Sometimes the Freshmen take pity on me, and try to warm me. I heard that you were likely to do it, and so Humbug and I have come to warn you not to take the trouble. You would only prolong a wretched life, and every one would hate you, because, alas! every one hates me. I long...
