...Damon's essay on Strindberg, Schonberg, and Sibelius is praisworthy as an attempt to relate the arts, and also to help the reader to appreciate two ultra-modern composers, both of whom deserve enthusiasm. But this method of treatment, although conventional, is so frankly subjective that it seems ultra fantastic and amateurish. It is nevertheless interesting to those who received impressions of the music totally different from those expressed by Mr. Damon here.

Football is in a bad way when at the spring meeting not enough men report to make up two full teams. Yet this is just what happened Friday. The meeting called to start work for the 1915 season with vigor and enthusiasm, was a fizzle. A handful of men, mostly Freshmen, attended...

Behind the players is something more powerful than they,--the University...

Herbert Jaques, Jr., '11, spoke to the men present of the definite and decided benefit that the indoor season affords to track men, regardless of previous experience.
