...coins to add to its collections, and the 75 which remained have been returned to Phillips Brooks House where they are now on sale. The coins are of different metals, the finest being silver. They appear to have been struck by hand from dies which were of remarkably fine workmanship, as to engraving, but the edges are not well defined and many of the coins have ragged shapes...
...compositions which showed most distinction of workmanship and sentiment were the songs "On a Faded Violet" by C. L. Seeger '08, "The Power of Spring" by P. G. Clapp '09, and the irresistibly clever and fascinating Scherzo by G. L. Foote '08. At the same time there was serious thought in the pieces by E. Royce '097 and the trio by R. L.

The quartets by Brahms and Osgood were well balanced and carefully shaded...

This is a case, I imagine, of decided gifts waiting for material on which to work. Travel papers are not a favorable form in which to reveal what is special to the writer. Those of Arminius show culture and intelligence, but on the question of the author's talent are not illuminating. About...
...costume will be furnished to the men who go to Washington to take part in the inaugural parade: black gowns, similar in general appearance to those worn by the Senior class, but of less expensive material, and crimson caps, of better material, and crimson caps, of better material and workmanship than those worn in the parade last fall. The caps and gowns will be ready for delivery in a few days, at a place which will be announced later. Men who wish to keep their caps and gowns will be allowed to do so on payment...
