...Wright provides a surprise when on the first page we find him presenting us with "A Note on Pagan Morals." We half expect an uncompromising attack or even an apology for the ancient and mythical man of straw, who is supposed to reign in Harvard square, with zones of influence extending far up Brattle street and as far down as the dens of Boylston Hall,--the demon of irreligion. But what Mr. Wright gives us is a colorful web of reminiscence and meditation. He pleads for a creed of spiritual temperance, of purity and discipline, for the sake...

This seems surprising, and one wonders who gives them their ideas of the comparative difficulty of courses. One wonders, too, what kind of recognition the editor thinks that the rest of the College should give to the Harvard Poetry Society. Is not membership in such a society its own reward? Do the members really have any grievance, or feel that they are "Forced...
