...Subsequent history of the Advocate (which in March, 1869, became the Harvard Advocate) has been in pleasant contrast to its troubled beginning. The friendly relations between the editors and the Faculty is shown by the attendance of many of the distinguished members of that body as guests at the annual dinners of the paper. Financially the publication has led a varied life, but when there has been a sufficient balance in the treasury, gifts have been made to the College Library--$200 in 1869, $100 in 1870, $200 in 1873--and to the University boat club, as in 1875; literary...
...Iris would be no solace. Augustus Lord's "By Autumn Seas" is a manly utterance on the old theme of world desolation and the comfort of "Love's dauntless cheer." Conrad Aiken has solzed perforce upon the poetry of the unpoetic in his "Vaudeville." He loves the verse of contrast, the skipping danseuse edging back and forth across the stage, hopelessly beloved by the violinist; and the shadowy silent lady, in spirit skipping after him. Somehow you see them both, and are annoyed to think that people so commonplace should have woes serious enough to be admitted to the Advocate...

The research work of late years exposes the inaccuracy of such a statement. That Harvard has not taken a wholly active part in this field of experiment is due to limited facilities, not to any absence of problems which might be solved...

Coach Mitchell makes no use of target work, of exercise with chest weights, or of the practice of having all men weigh themselves every evening, prominent features of Dr. Sexton's method last year...
...remarkably few words, the writer constructs a very neat case against the war maniacs. There is a certain cold charm in the temperance and lucidity of his style--a charm which we encounter frequently in the best work of the so-called "Pacifist" school, and which is in happy contrast to the bow-wow of the opposite camp. Mr. Reniers concludes his article on the moving Picture in this issue. Though a little slow-moving, it is clearly patterned and has been written with pains. The "Agrippina" of Mr. Lyman Dudley lacks what so many historical productions lack,--a sense...
