...Department; Professor Albert Bushnell Hart '80 has contributed an article on "Gideon Welles's Diary," and Percy Mackaye '97 has called to our mind Professor Copeland's reading of "Bouillabaisse," by contributing a poem in memory of its author Thackeray, "The Bard of Bouillabaise," on his centenary. We might flatter ourselves further and take to our credit a story by Edwin Balmer, Ph.D., '03, and still further, an interview which Mr. Leupp has secured from Mr. L. A. Coolidge '83 on the trusts.

The success of the Yale Club may be regarded as a partial indication of the possible success of such a club in Harvard. Unless indeed we may flatter ourselves that the state of musical taste and criticism at Harvard has risen above the intricacies of banjo counterpoint. We would not discourage anyone from forming a Banjo Club, although it might be wise not to incorporate the new interpreter of sweet strains with the venerable Pierian Sodality, that boasts...
