...vitality and truth. "The Bravery of Terrence" by Mr. John L. Warren is the best told of the stories. It relates an amusing point of view, which is unusually well realized and sustained. It is distinguished from the other two stories by greater maturity of manner and evenness of development. These other stories are at once unconvincing in content and ragged in style. A "Double Campaign" contains a sufficiently humorous idea, which, however, the author has not taken time or has not the skill to develop; and it is written in an ejaculatory style, tiresome event for two pages...
Williams has failed so far this season to repeat the remarkable success of last year's nine which defeated Harvard 5-2, Yale, Dartmouth and Amherst.

A debating club, which has proved one of the most successful features, has been organized; and amateur theatricals have also afforded a large amount of pleasure...
...Recent Graduates as Men of Lectures" Mr. Groton discusses appreciatively the younger generation of Harvard writers, and furnishes a convincing refutation of the thesis that the teaching of English composition in Harvard College has not served to develop men of letters. The men enumerated there, as well as many of a few years earlier,--Hammond Lamont, Charles M. Thompson, Mark Howe, William Morton Fullerton, to name but a few,--men who are succeeding, were taught in Harvard College, and here, as editors of our College papers, first really tried their hand...
