...them rubbed in through the columns of the undergraduate papers. Both stories are well written; but they lead the uniformed reader to suppose that Harvard men spend their lives in an atmosphere, not morely of hilarity, but of reckless dissipation. "The Philosophy of Horatio" is almost well enough done to be justifiable: but "A Fake Play" has the fundamental weakness of being didactic without being clear. The third prose article, "Tactics for Teas," is amusing and entirely harmless; but it is too slight to prevent the prose of the number from conveying a general impression of murky disaster and gloom...
...verse is entirely different in tone and on the whole distinctly well done, "Corporation Football" is the sort of thing that ought to be valuable years from now as an admirable expression of the undergraduate feeling toward the reform of football by the authorities. "The Cruise of the Scholarship" is cleverly done, and the verse is excellent. "Victor and Vanquished" would be better were it not for a suggestion of those heroic bits in "Pieces for Recitation" which afford so much of the material for grammar school declamation...

It began the year with a debt of $300, which it succeeded in paying off as well as arranging to start next year on a better financial basis than ever before. Most of the money was raised through the efforts of a committee, consisting of A. A. Ballantine...
...most important work done by the Council during the past year, however, was the securing from the Corporation the use of the upper floor in Dane Hall, for debating headquarters, which was largely due to the efforts of E. M. Rabenold 2L. The floor consists of three rooms--an assembly room, a library and reading room, and a committee room, which were opened on February 13. These rooms will also serve as a centre for all debating records, which are now being collected by E. R. Lewis...
