...Ghostly" is a long and rather interesting story, though one is inclined to skip the preface which has almost nothing to do with the plot, and to begin the fiction at "Spoff's First Prayer." The story is well told, the scene laid in British Columbia, and the plot deals with a solitary hunter, who, compelled to spend the night in a deserted Indian village, meets there his hospitable ghost...
...Poet Lenau's Voyage to America" is an exceedingly interesting account of this Austrian poet, almost unknown in this country. Born in Hungary, he entered the University of Vienna, where he stood well in his studies, but was not inclined towards any one of them. In later years a restless desire for new scenery drove him to America, where he hoped to find his Elysium.

But patience and hard work can overcome a great deal, and whatever obstacles may have stood in the way of the crew's success have been almost wholly overcome by the untiring perseverance of Captain Perkins and his men. Today the crew starts off for its new quarters with the full confidence of the college behind it. Harvard has seen a great series of victories this year; and it feels sure that it is represented...
