...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.

Paul Revere Hall, a man about town, Professor Lasher, a geologist, and Obediah Ham, a grind, go to the polar regions together to see Hi-Kaya, the chief of the northern tribe, and prevail upon him to return with them to America. In the second act they are seen at Sheepshead Bay race track. In the third act they become involved in international complications in the polar regions. 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.
