...Reed's sonnet on "Tschaikowsky" is marred by confused imagery; Mr. Wheelock's "From one Exiled Inland" conveys with pathos, yet not without a touch of exaggeration, the feeling of homesickness for the sea; and Mr. E. E. Hunt's ballital shows surprising success in a very difficult form of verse. A fantasy like Mr. C. H. Dickerman's "The Haunted Palace" could only be regarded as successful through the excellence of its technique. But the writer allows himself too much license to claim any triumph of this kind. Whenever the thought presses against the limits of the verse...
...directly to the efforts of the Association, founded in memory of a man who stood for the best there is in life, Phillips Brooks. The step in life you Freshmen are now taking, he said, is from boyhood into manhood. The dividing line between the two is more difficult to determine for a man entering a college, than for him who enters directly into the world's work.

...University crew the prospects for next year are very similar to the prospects for this year's combination. Three men will be lost out of the eight by graduation and one out of the four-oar. Farley's place at stroke will be the most difficult to fill satisfactorily. G. G. Bacon '08, the present stroke of the University four-oar, and his brother, E. C. Bacon '10, stroke and captain of the Freshman crew, will be the most likely candidates for the place. Number four will not be so difficult a place to fill, when R. L. Bacon...
...smooth form. Coach Wray considered him seriously for stroke this season. He was tried out in the Columbia race, and did not prove as effective as had been hoped. Nevertheless, he is the best man on the squad for bow. He is particularly smooth, pulls hard, and rows a difficult position with ease...
