...superior training of the Freshmen was shown in the distance runs, in which they won all three places. In the two-mile run Kaynor of Yale, after putting up a determined fight for a place; was unable to hold the pace against the beating wind and rain, and fell on the sixth lap, leaving four Harvard men to finish the race. The 880-yard run was easily won by Fernald, with Yale men second and third. The time of 2 minutes, 3 4-5 seconds, was good against the wind...
...triumph over limitations of space. Though but a trifle over three pages long, it lacks scarcely one of the properties which the current practice of our best ten-cent magazines proves helpful toward securing publication. Local color, uncouth dialect, primal passion, heroic resignation, a moral struggle, and a savage fight march in perfect order to an artistically vague ending. A fit companion to "Pete La Farge" is "The Morrigan." Mr. Schenck piles on lurid horrors with the ungrudging hand of love.

At the instigation of the villian Rynaldo, Fortunio and Valerio attempt to defraud their fathers. The denouement is most amusing and unexpected...
...follows "A Leaf of Bay," a simple and musical two-stanza ode in praise of a warrior who has conquered and may now rest. The collocation suggests that the allusion is to President Eliot, who certainly will watch the young men with undiminished interest as they "look toward the fight," but whether he will be content to rest "careless of the war about" is doubtful. The other pieces of verse show differing degrees of maturity of thought, poetical feeling and constructive skill. The most ambitious of these is "A Night Song,"--a lover's homage to his beloved...
