...College Education," by Mr. Amory, deals with the promising theme of a Maine boy's over-hasty entrance into Harvard, his pathetic attempts to conceal his failure from his father, and his heroism when he takes refuge in the ancestral sailor's life. Sluggish oceans of local color, however, have swamped the hero whom the Atlantic surges could not harm. Condensation is sadly needed. Mr. Putnam would voice the emotions of a Nietzschean Superman trying to behave like an Elizabethan gallant, with disastrous results. His Sonnet (the form should not be divided like a Petrarcan sonnet, into octet and sestet...

The lone oarsman can compromise...
...hard paths. And they don't know that it is a sign of mental weakness to change their minds when half-way between two buildings and decide to go somewhere across the grass where they had not intended. Other students know all these things, however, and like to conceal it. So these students see how near they can come to the paths without stepping on them. They soon become very proficient in avoiding them and destroy the grass rapidly. They remind us of the elm tree beetles that have destroyed the Yard elms, only the beetles don't know...
