...Charles T. Ryder '067 Ryder was probably the best poet at Harvard eight or nine years ago, and was the first to get the Garrison prize. This little book, in which he sixes up in funny poems the geniuses of the time, alphabetically arranged, is extremely clever, cheerful and full of delicate wit.

Wanamaker '16, substitutes who played in the Yale games, will probably fill two of the three remaining offence positions. The wealth of material among the substitutes and Freshmen will make easy the successful filling of the vacancies...
