Ithaca, N. Y., May 12.--The Harvard lacrosse team became champions of the northern division of the intercollegiate league by defeating Cornell 5 to 1 in a fast clean game here today. The almost impregnable defence of the Harvard team kept the strong Cornell attack from scoring more than once. Liucoln made 20 stops at goal. Brundage scored three goals, and Catton and Nightingale one each. Cornell's goal came within the last 15 seconds of play. Johns Hopkins, the winner of the southern division, has refused to play an inter-division game...
...chance to see good boat races as one has to see good football games. The Harvard-Yale football game is not the only good football game in the country, but the Yale race is almost the only four-mile race. The races on the Charles are short and there is no way to see more than a portion...
...relative strength of the crews we have only knowledge based upon speculation. For all of the crews this is the first race of the year. Princeton is heavier and apparently more powerful than last year when they made a plucky fight against Cornell and Harvard.

...present issue begins rather brilliantly with an essay on "The Spirit of the Renaissance", by one G. S., clearly, almost exuberantly, conceived, and compactly expressed, but by ten pages too short; it ends with an editorial on "College Life" by the same gentleman, rather hazily thought out and very much too long. Between, lie a story or two, a charming imaginary letter of Horace to Maecenas by Mr. S. L. M. Barlow, a number of poems and a jaunty, not to say fresh, review of a new book on "Faust". The poems all have sincerity, imagination and force...
...analysis of this development reveals three principal animating forces, standing out clear of the others. They are Professor Baker, the Harvard Dramatic Club and the English 47 Workshop. As for the first, little need be said. Professor Baker's reputation as a teacher and critic of dramatic composition is almost international, and without doubt he has been the greatest single factor in the movement at Harvard. His work has been greatly assisted by the Harvard Dramatic Club, which was founded in the spring of 1908 by E. B. Sheldon, R. E. Rogers, D. Carb and others, for the purpose...
