...Monthly for December prints three contributions of particular timeliness: a brief account by Mr. Tillinghast of the Harvardiana now on exhibition in the College Library, a cordial editorial congratulation of Professor C.E. Norton upon his eightieth birthday, and an ode, "The Founder," by R. E. Rogers. Mr. Rogers sees in the eyes of John Harvard, as they look out upon the Delta, a vision of the College which bears his name, and interprets for us the thoughts of the Founder with respect both to the past and to the future. He well brings out the Puritan loyalty to England...
...England" is, finally, as its title indicates, a historical narrative, based, I suppose, upon the traditions of the Maine town of Pemaquid, where the scene is laid. The general conditions under which the English settlers lived during the French and Indian Wars are interestingly sketched, and the account of a sudden attack upon the colonists fort has real dramatic force, skillfully manipulated so as to lead to a conflict of motives in the breast of one of the defenders. One or two of the characterizations are somewhat perfunctory, and the language is here and there a little too consciously archaic...
...same restraint had been observed throughout that appears in the conclusion, the effect would have been better. Mr. Dorey's sketch of "An American on the Thames" is amusing, though the humor is sometimes a little forced. Mr. Mayer's article on "Josiah Quincy" gives a suitable account of a career which ought to be of interest to Harvard men in every generation...
...hard running was a feature. Newhall's work was exceptionally good. In spite of the bandage over his eye, he caught and ran back punts almost perfectly, and his generalship was excellent. Although not Harvard's regular punter, he was called on to do most of the kicking on account of Burr's being slightly overtrained and slow in getting his punts off. Newhall's punts were not as long as Coy's, but the shorter distance enabled the ends to cover them effectively. Macdonald's playing exceeded all expectations. In previous games he had been slow in sizing...
...very fortunate for Harvard that Wendell is able to play at left halfback. The Dartmouth game was his first this fall, as previous to that he had not been allowed to play on account of scholarship deficencies. He runs hard, keeps his feet well, and is the best secondary defensive back on the team. The other back, Rand, is good in offensive work and fights hard for his ground. Frequent gains have been made through his side of the line in the last few games, however. Lockwood and Gilbert are the first substitute halfbacks. Lockwood is valuable on account...
