...accepts the great tradition of English poetry--the tradition of Spenser and Shakespere--as Mr. Norris accepts the lesser, but accepts it freely and boldly, as if born to the purple. In "The Question" one is struck first of all by the individuality and evocative quality of the diction, then by the sustained sweep and music of the line, as contrasted with the briefer felicity of Mr. Norris' phrase. In fact, the two poets present an interesting and suggestive opposition throughout. If in Mr. Norris I find sentiment, fancy, wit--in the older sense--in Mr. Hillyer I find, above...
...less intensive. Mr. Putnam's first sonnet is graceful and possesses what undergraduate poems often lack--logical structure. His second does not so clearly deserve this praise. "Crepuscule," by Mr. Hillyer, is a pretty conception prettily worked out. The verse runs well and the reminiscences of older English poetic diction (in a good sense) are not unpleasing.

...Advocate's admirers, for there was a time when "Dulce est periculum" meant a great deal more than it does today, and a certain Garrison was largely responsible for its force. The present Garrison in "The Greater Union" handles a subject a little beyond his reach, but his diction is not that kind which gets into trouble in the famed course of English A. Myron Zobel '19 in "Richelieu, Vainquer de Dames" contributes the best approach to fiction in this number. It is rather good fun to see a small thread of history developed into as entertaining a romance...
