...study in anti-climax which hardly entertains us enough as we go along to make us forgive the hoax. "Chapters from a Summer Romance" is conventional in detail and feeble in situation: in the descriptive parts "scarcely a sound broke the quiet," although a hermit thrush "could be heard in the distance; in the narrative part we have, in addition to some very unreal dialogue, the old, old ending! "Thereupon he turned upon his heel and strode off into the night." Heroes ought to behave with more originality that that...
America has heard much of the high standard of Oxford and the English colleges; Harvard in the past year or two especially has heard much of the Oxford Forum and the wide discussion of politics which forms one of the greatest interests of that University. From one of the most prominent graduates, Mr. Charles Francis Adams '56, we have an interview on Oxford as compared with Harvard which is of extreme interest to the College, taking as it does a somewhat different point of view from that of the usual unstinted praise for Oxford institutions.

Hastings, Jr., '14, members of this year's team may also be heard from in the trials for the team. A. J. Lowrey '13 is the only man to be lost through graduation, and with four such men as R. N. Williams '16, E. H. Whitney '14, W. M. Washburn '15, and J. J. Armstrong '14, both ranked in the second group, it looks as though the new University team will be the strongest...
