...Union was built as an experiment. The democracy of the project sounded good to a college accused of snobbishness, and for years now this fanciful democratic spirit has hypnotized the minds of men who should have seen and known. The Union has not attained the goal for which it was begun; the Union is a failure; and in order to revive the dying institution, compulsory membership is urged...
...perhaps mistakingly--the feeling that he is putting together cleverly but mechanically a poetical puzzle picture made of pieces sawed out of other men's poems. There is no suggestion of his having had anything to express that insisted on being uttered--though this criticism applies to a good deal of the verse in the present number.

Among the plays are two which were first given stage presentation by the Dramatic Club, "Good News," and "Five in the Morning." "Good News," by J. F. Ballard '12, later a winner of the John Craig Prize and a member of the Graduate Advisory Committee of the club, was produced in the spring of 1913 together with two other notable plays. "Five in the Morning...
