...Senior Class Poem" by Mr. McCleary is a very entertaining and amusing poem and compares very favorably with like poems written of late at Harvard. The bright, vivacious style which is peculiar to this writer is not wanting here...

The cricket eleven certainly deserves better recognition form the students than it has received in the past. We sincerely trust that the managers of the eleven will succeed in their attempt to arrange a game...
