...rooms in outside buildings have been allotted, and if the applications for Yard rooms are unsuccessful, there is but little chance of getting any but inferior lodgings. Every year many applications for the Senior dormitories fail, and in the other College buildings the applicants have to be content with other rooms than those they desired. The realization of this state of affairs by the undergraduates undoubtedly keeps a great number of them from applying at all, and prevents the Yard from being as representative as it should be. We believe that conditions would be improved if the allotments were made...
...another column this morning, contains an article on "The Yard Dormitories." The argument is convincing that these dormitories are not what they should be. Of course they are habitable; at times they are even delightfully comfortable, but we, as Harvard undergraduates, are not proud of them, nor are we content with them.

The collocation suggests that the allusion is to President Eliot, who certainly will watch the young men with undiminished interest as they "look toward the fight," but whether he will be content to rest "careless of the war about" is doubtful. The other pieces of verse show differing degrees of maturity of thought, poetical feeling and constructive skill. The most ambitious of these is "A Night Song,"--a lover's homage to his beloved as the two sit together in a fragrant...
...fair mediocrity in his scholarship. Conveniently above the grade of failure is a very large space which accounts for the mediocre and indifferent work. Undoubtedly there is too much satisfaction in such work, much more than there should be, but it is well proven that there is less content nowadays to be numbered in that category than twenty years ago and there is more eagerness to be classed among the men who have obtained distinction in their academic work...
