AMONG the brevities this week, thanks to the courtesy of Professor Paine. we are able to print the prospectus of the "University Symphony Concerts," to be given this autumn and winter at Sanders Theatre, if, as the prospectus states, a sufficient number of subscriptions can be obtained. We sincerely hope that all will respond heartily to this appeal, and lose no time in going to Sever's to secure their seats. The proportion of students among the audience the last two years has been smaller than one would expect. Is it not a comment on our musical taste that a good classical concert but a few steps off attracts such a mere sprinkling of students, while the songs of the seductive Soldene draw full houses of Harvard men in town? Lovers of music may congratulate themselves that they are to hear the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra at all the concerts. The concerts are to be conducted, not by Thomas, it is true, but next best to that, by his assistant-conductor. The names of the eminent and celebrated soloists look well on paper, and should attract those for whom orchestral music has no charms.
