"From Grieg to Brahms," by Daniel Gregory Mason '95, is the name given to a collection of eight essays, of which six take up in order the modern composers, Grieg, Dvorak, Saint-Saens, Franck, Tschaikowsky and Brahms; the other two, in the form of Introduction and Epilogue, treat interestingly the rather live subjects: "The Appreciation of Music" and "The Meaning of Music." Each of the other essays gives the reader an acquaintance with the composer's personality, and studies his work largely from that point of view, indicating his significance and influence in the modern world of music.

"Dramatic Verses," by J. Trumbull Stickney '95, is a collection of poems, many of which have appeared in magazines, and a dramatic fragment, entitled, "Prometheus Unbound."

The quality of the contents is not above reproach. The poems have no particular charm and are lacking in character. They seem to be a collection of verses, made up of queerly arranged sentences, and over highly colored similes. Many of the passages are vague, while others are absolutely unintelligible.
