...look at the vegetation, another at the ground, and another at the vistas about him. If he fails to appreciate any of these three realities about him, he may still remain a good geologist, or a good botanist, or a good seer; but he is certainly missing a great deal which if he could get he would make his life fuller, his science deeper, his poetry fine. In other words, he would thus contribute more towards completing his humanity...
...perhaps mistakingly--the feeling that he is putting together cleverly but mechanically a poetical puzzle picture made of pieces sawed out of other men's poems. There is no suggestion of his having had anything to express that insisted on being uttered--though this criticism applies to a good deal of the verse in the present number. Mr. Sanger's "Panama Canal," though less imaginative than some of the others, is clear in conception, vigorous in expression; and Mr. Cutler is again charmingly witty in his "Poet's Lament." His last stanza reminds us that we ought to be grateful...

Harrison '18 and R. M. Loring '18 are showing very good form...
Advertised as an historical romance, "A King of Nowhere," which came to the Shubert last night, is rather to be classed as a mock heroic. The play is ridiculously melodramatic and in most cases hopelessly over-acted. There is a great deal of stamping of feet and waving of arms, and Mr. Lou-Tellegen's arms are so long that one is sometimes reminded of the proverbial windmill...
