...prose at the end. There are cleverness and observation in all the fiction, but throughout all of it is a certain sketchiness which suggests that the stories are in spirit, if not in letter, daily themes. There is firm, swift characterization in "Concerning Bores," and it is simple and direct up to the last sentence. There a touch of conscious exaggeration spoils all the effect of its preceding skill and sincerity. "A Committee of Three" seems to the present critic typical of a certain kind of college fiction, the value of which is very doubtful. It tells its story...
...good support without criticism. Last year there was a great deal of grumbling and criticism, and the coaches were accused of favoritism. You men must feel confidence in the coaches, and trust us to pick the team. If anyone has any criticism to make, let him make it direct to head-quarters, and an explanation will be given him.

...Providence on May 23 the Brown nine won from the University team by a score of 6 to 5. Although the score was tied until the ninth inning, all of Harvard's runs were the direct result of Brown's fielding errors. Since that game the University team has lost twice and won once, and the batting has improved while the fielding has fallen off. Brown, since then, has defeated Yale by a score of 3 to 1, and on Monday won from the University of Pennsylvania by a score of 5 to 2, Pennsylvania having previously defeated Brown...
