...dying mother in the background) and one is grateful, too, for the pure fun of Mr. H. H. Brown's "Vi et Armis." The "Afterglow," by Mr. Peter Willard, a subjective description tinged with real reminiscent and visionary tone, is the masterpiece of the number. Though the idea is sufficiently hackneyed (the vision of home that comes to a man dying in a hospital), it is treated with individuality, feeling and truth. This, observe, has brought in death again; and the one conspicuously immature characteristic of the number as a whole is that so much of the serious fiction terminates...
...committee on arrangements for the Senior class picnic has succeeded in securing Nantasket Point for Tuesday, May 28, 1907, and the College Office has consented to allow the entire class to leave Cambridge on that day.

These other stories are at once unconvincing in content and ragged in style. A "Double Campaign" contains a sufficiently humorous idea, which, however, the author has not taken time or has not the skill to develop; and it is written in an ejaculatory style, tiresome event for two pages. In "The Landing of an English Snob," an idea not very humorous in itself is treated with some incidental humorous touches. All three...
...Harvard Union, Major Higginson suggested that it might be found desirable to inscribe somewhere in the building the names of the Harvard men who fought in the Spanish War, and especially the names of these who died in the service of their country at that time. The idea was that as Memorial Hall and Soldiers Field have recalled to students the brave deeds of Harvard men in War of the Rebellion, so the Union might serve in a smaller, but just as honorable, way to keep alive the memory of the Harvard men who fought in Cuba. Why this suggestion...
