...hundred and thirty or so men from the University be so selected, condemnation of the favoritism shown will rise to damnation. And it is a further reasonable supposition that should those officers, having undertaken with their men the defense of a portion of the battle line, by some singular feat of courage or skill force the retirement of the foe which opposes them, the Germans will then be accused of having conspired with the Government, the War Department and fate to advance the honor of these hundred and thirty men, over more deserving men who have failed of everything...
Captain Overton of Yale duplicated his feat of a week ago, and again broke a world's record when he covered the 1,000-yard title race in two minutes 14 seconds, thereby lowering the record of Kiviat, made in 1914, by 1 2-5 seconds. Kelly of Holy Cross and McDonald of the Irish-American A. C., also established records in their respective events. The former did the 300 in 31 2-5 seconds, and the latter heaved the 16-pound shot 42 feet 7 1-2 inches...
...acting is all that could possibly be desired. Miss Henrietta Crossman as the Mayoress does what is really a wonderful piece of work. In many respects the Mayoress is the most subtle feat of characterization Mr. Shaw has accomplished.

Mr. Edwin Cushman, as the High Church curate, is appropriately preposterous...
...Allinson's "Life" is a whimsical bit of verse; how much more crisply a similar idea has been treated, he can easily discover by reading Rupert Brooke's "Heaven." "When the Dead Awaken," by Mr. Willcox, is commonplace. Mr. Leffingwell attempts a feat of compression in a "A Song of Resurrection," and leaves his reader in a somewhat confused state of mind. Mr. Sanger collects his impressions of "Iron Ore Mines," and expresses his views about "America's Mission" in something that appears to be akin to free verse. Both his impressions and his views are worth while; but they...
...right to say that today's review in the Stadium signified more to the honor of Harvard than any of its greatest athletic victories ever did or ever can. It was not the work of eleven men and their substitutes but the feat of a thousand men and their officers. So large a representation could be taken as the measure of Harvard's whole undergraduate body. It made no difference that the crowd of spectators was thousands less than the throng which goes to a football game to gain public applause, they entered to help prepare themselves for an hour...
