...very acceptable. The best voices are those of W. Wadsworth '02, who took three subordinate parts, and H. L. Riker '03, who played Paul Revere Hall. The latter also acted with considerable life and dash. J. A. Dix '02 as Obadiah Ham, the grind, acted his part with finish, and did some unusually good dancing. C. S. Sargent '02 as the bookmaker was very funny and A. Wall '02 as a "Deutscher Chaffeur," created some amusement. M. W. Ware '02 and S. Waller '03 also did good work...

English, German, French and Austrian warships with their officers are trying to get possession of the country, but finally relinquish their claims to the United States. The sentimental part of the play...
...either side, could be, and should be given to substitutes on the University eleven. As the crew and track team substitutes are honored with appropriate letters as a reward for their efforts, certainly the football substitutes should be likewise honored, as their work is a grind with little to show for it in the end, but a plain, black sweater. This matter has been discussed of late by many graduates, and therefore I think the present time the best to advocate some move in this direction...
...drawings. The illustration on the front page, though simple, is yet cleverly done and has the advantage of being well set off by some very appropriate rhymes.
