...omitted. Mr. Schenck's "Missing Mistletoe" is slow in getting under way, and sudden ever afterwards. Much of the dialogue lacks ease, but, the sudden part is diverting. Mr. Warren's "Lost Christmas" is a story of sorrow, told creditably yet lacking power. Mr. Whitman's "Chamburlesque" I cannot estimate fairly without reading the work it parodles--and this, if the parody is just, I should be sorry to do. If I were judging the story by itself, I should be tempted to call it capable but vulgar...
...while C. Almy, Jr., '08 has shown up well at guard in the inter-class games. For forwards there is plenty of good material, including the forwards of last year's team and J. R. Sheehan '10 of last year's Frashman team, and if a good guard cannot be found, one of these men may be shifted to that position...

If a bas-relief would detract from the home-like atmosphere of the Union, would...
...real factor in the progress of civilization or only the mistaken dream of impracticable visionaries, it is entitled to the credit of a gentle birth. It is one of the phenomena of the groping fraternalism that has so markedly characterized the civilization of the last half century. This question cannot be arbitrarily dismissed. It is far too grave to be left for solution to the partisan. He has only one policy to consider-how to get votes. Neither the morals, the economics or the common sense of any proposition interest him except in so far as they may be employed...
...most striking article in the number is a spirited rejoinder by the editor to the danger of Germanization and general depravity brought against Harvard College by one of its more recent graduates. Harvard cannot thrive without criticism, but this particular attack is unfortunate in more ways than one. The editor finds Oxfordization as perilous a development both for the College and for the critic in question-and disapproves any scheme which would tend to destroy either college spirit or class spirit. This is true: despite the amazing changes wrought by the reform of the curriculum, Harvard College is embedded...
