...with how much expression English students can handle lines written for Roman actors. The curiosity is piqued; the eye and ear are delighted. Is there very much besides in the play to recommend it? Would not another play be doomed, by the nature of the case, to fall flat...
...present number of the Advocate returns to the College Kodaks with no particular advantage from the reader's point of view; for many of these Kodaks unfortunately fall rather flat and miss the point they are supposed to have. In the present case the other articles are fortunately more interesting, except that six of the seven editorials treat of football matters, which now seem somewhat...

The 220 flat will be in doubt the whole of the distance with Sayer a probable winner, Bennett of Yale second and Whittren third. Merrill is counted on for first in the 440, while second will go to Bennett with Bingham a close third. Judging from past records, Corbin ought...
