...present issue begins rather brilliantly with an essay on "The Spirit of the Renaissance", by one G. S., clearly, almost exuberantly, conceived, and compactly expressed, but by ten pages too short; it ends with an editorial on "College Life" by the same gentleman, rather hazily thought out and very much too long. Between, lie a story or two, a charming imaginary letter of Horace to Maecenas by Mr. S. L. M. Barlow, a number of poems and a jaunty, not to say fresh, review of a new book on "Faust". The poems all have sincerity, imagination and force...
...accustomed to read," says the Victorian. "Yours is very definite, very cleverly told, Mr. Burlingame, but why deal with the exceptional Boston John, especially if he is a snob and a cad, when there are so many Johns of Boston who are straight and clean and brave? The gentleman of the first person, as well as he of the third, whom Mr. Barlow conducts through a Parisian evening in a study of the contrast between Basque impetuosity and English simplicity, pay a very modest price in losing the outside as well as the inside of their pocket-books; in fact...
...their recent visit to the Crimson stronghold.

Enthusiasm should never be allowed wholly to supplant reason; it has its proper place and time when displayed in a proper degree. Gentlemanly and rational conduct is always required of Harvard men, and enthusiasm which is destructive to furniture and productive of riot is not to be tolerated even in support of a winning team. While we expect a great deal of enthusiasm to be shown preceding the remaining football games, we ask that...
Like everything with which Major Higginson, to whom the book is dedicated, is connected, the album is a decided credit to the community as well as to those more directly concerned. A gentleman of sounder business judgment, of more unswerving integrity, of more unfailing kindliness, and of greater generosity than Boston's first citizen and Harvard's almost unequalled benefactor would be extremely difficult to find. In honoring such a type of man, 1912 do honor to themselves...
