...Cambridge and the vicinity. A natural tendency for foreigners in a new country is to group together. The Club now aims to make this group more sociable and to link it with American activities. We believe that this will benefit the club as well as its members from afar. Such action shows a commendable determination to make this institution more serviceable and foreign students more at home...
...sure and practiced touch. His "America to Europe" says much in its fourteen lines and closes with the memorable phrase: "And that to live at ease may be to die." Arthur Ficke has put into his "Irises" the sound of the "Passing water of the cool stream, Coming from afar," and leaves a faint impression of a passion for which the real Iris would be no solace. Augustus Lord's "By Autumn Seas" is a manly utterance on the old theme of world desolation and the comfort of "Love's dauntless cheer." Conrad Aiken has solzed perforce upon the poetry...
...here. It means a kind of reward for their care, sacrifice perhaps, and expense in our education. It is a neglect of such needs as this which fosters prejudice in the minds of interested persons.

He returns to find it giving the appearance of a martial host about to sweep down...

At the close--beautiful as one finds little Rosalie's roguish kiss--it seems better that the boy should have worshipped from afar unappreciated, as must be so often the case with his like. The success of "Rosalie" once more enforces the lesson to portray the life you know: even "Malbrouck," fancifully conceived and tastefully executed, lacks reality beside it. The author of "Malbrouck" to conclude might do well to excise adjectives especially...
