Homer has told us of the expedition against Troy, Xenophon has given us the tale of the Ten Thousand, and Caesar has recounted his Gallic conquests. All these worthy narratives have had their interest to Harvard students, even though this interest was centered somewhat more on what the writer's words meant than on what they were talking about. The latest contribution to literature which will find its place in the historical archives is the story of the invasion of the West by the Harvard University Football Team of 1919, written by one who followed the team to the Golden...
...should be as intelligible to him as Hottentot to an Eskimo. Yet we hear the voluminous applause of six hundred men at the proper dramatic pause, and the right ripple or broad guffaw of as many at the humorous interlude.

But, on the whole, the cast failed in only one task, which is a very difficult one for Anglo-Saxons; they did not preserve the Gallic quality of the characters they represented. Mr. Blair gave to Robert Fergan a truly Anglo-Saxon touch of blunt brutality, and Miss Kahn typified the American rather than the French wife's conception of liberty in the marriage relation. On the other hand, Mr. Anderson succeeded admirably in keeping...
