...though smooth enough, is cloyed with pale pink, saccharine sentiment. Mr. Nelson's "Early Frost" is skillful work on a mighty theme; but its figures, although effective hints in themselves, are too familiar to be easily coordinated into a single, sharp effect. Mr. Murray Sheehan's two sonnets on "Fate," however, bear more clearly the stamp of vitalizing human experience. One feels that Mr. Murray is saying something because he cannot hold it back--because he has something to say. And at the end of his bold plea for individuality and self-reliance there comes to the reader a sense...
...look with reverence upon our living, and with love upon our dead soldiers, it might seem that the profoundest answer to all these questions has been given by another French soldier, himself no mean artist, who gave up his young life for his country last year. "If fate claims the best," he wrote to his mother, "it is not unjust. The less noble who survive will thereby be made better. . . .Nothing is lost. . .

Will Carthaginian parsimony force the little twinkler to go through life with such a designation as "Yalensis" or "Tiga"? To save it from such a fate voting is being held dally in the CRIMSON Building, 14-20 Plympton street. Votes are now selling at the low figure of 10 cents each; there is no limit to the number of ballots one may cast, for plural voting is allowed and repeaters encouraged...
...however, is somewhat harsh and not wholly logical. To be thoroughly consistent, the men who played on former teams should be disqualified and their games forfeited. Since this is not within the bounds of either thought or execution, why cannot these five unfortunate men,--victims of little else than fate,--be re-instated and the new order dated from the present...
