Unusual interest attaches to the fall production of the Dramatic Club. To some extent this is due to the success of the performances last year, but to a far greater extent to the wise selection of the play to be produced. "The Scarecrow," by Percy MacKaye '97, whose "Jeanne d'Arc," "Sappho and Phaon," and "Mater," have been seen in New York and elsewhere, is undoubtedly Mr. MacKaye's most distinguished work. Though published in 1908, it has never been performed, and the Dramatic Club, therefore, has the distinction of presenting for the first time a play which is considered...
Recent baseball scores, taken by themselves, would seem to indicate that the University baseball team is having a slump. This is not true, or is true only to the extent that the team is not playing quite the same game as in the earlier part of the season. The falling off is not to be accounted for by the over-training, over-confidence, or general listlessness which characterize the ordinary slump.

...rest of the year, and settled it favorably for many of the doubtful men, the members of the University will be able to see what their team is going to amount to. The interest in track work has been increasing in the last few years to a great extent, and although there has undoubtedly been a distinct falling-off this season, it still remains one of the most popular sports. At present, the prospects for a victorious team are not particularly bright, but the unexpected often happens in this branch of athletics, and with the beginning of the series...
