...Transfigured Julia" gleefully hits off the capricious changes of fashion in girls: "Lissome Julia anatomically slight," "Robust Julia, playing golf and swimming harder," Suffrage Julia "prances in the [poet's] limelight." Witter Bynner is not up to his poetic form in "Though Wisdom Dies." Wisdom is a theme which cannot be completely developed in two short stanzas nor can imagination be "uncurled small as forget-me-nots."

...pitiful response which was made to the call for spring football practice cannot be accounted for by the fact that some players are engaged in other sports. When less than enough men for three elevens report on the field, in comparison with more than a hundred who participated in the practice at Princeton, the situation is decidedly dubious. The prospects in football were made bright a short time ago when the services of Percy Haughton were assured as head coach. But a team cannot be made by coaching alone.
