Brown scored once in the second, and in the fourth drove Roulmin to the showers with a barrage of hits, one of them a homer by Keeper, which left the Brunonians but two runs astern as Spalding took up the pitching burden. A pass, a triple by Hoffman, and a single by Ruckstall evened the score in the fifth. Three more safeties accounted for another score in the seventh, putting Brown ahead, and an error by Slayton paved the way for two superfluous tallies in the eighth...
...Loan Library has been a startling success ever since it was inaugurated. Men who feel the financial burden of buying the innumerable text books required in college courses have been enabled to take books from the P. B. H. library in the beginning of the year at a charge of 25 cents and on returning them in June have received 20 cents back. But the library is not limited to text books.

Alan Mowbray, in the part, succeeded in doing this, but he did not develop a very consistent or convincing character. Jessamine Newcombe portrayed the imperial Catherine, lovely, regal, and almost barbaric enough, while Mr. Hulse was a glorious drunken chancellor whom G. B. S. very kindly provided with lines sufficiently scintillating...
