There are five poems in this issue, all of them above the usual ideal of space fillers. Mr. Hillyer contributes two; a "Song" and a "Threnos." The "Song" is an exquisite bit--rhymeless, but using the same terminating words for each stanza. The "Threnos" is a sudden cynical outburst of still more interesting form; the lines of the first stanza become successively the refrains of the following stanzas. Mr. Cummings contributes a "Ballade of Soul," a true ballade--of a more complicated type, however, than generally seen. Yet Mr. Cummings, for all the limited number of rhymes, makes his poem...
...University nine again showed its calibre yesterday when it defeated the Pilgrims 8 to 1 in a game which was played under anything but ideal conditions. A cold mist hindered the pitchers somewhat but did not seem to affect the hitting, as the University team secured 12 safeties. Three double plays, together with long hits by Nash and Harte served to enliven an otherwise uninteresting game. McLaughlin, the Pilgrim's pitching captain was hit freely during his stay in the box. He was relieved by Davis, who was more successful and allowed but two hits in three innings. Whitney...
Nine poems prance off with the remainder of the current Advocate upon the back of Pegasus. "The Ideal," by Mr. S. B. McKinley '16; "At Parting," by Mr. S. Hall '16; and "Off to the War," by Mr. W.

The other poems are "Dusk," by Mr. B. P. Clark '16; "The Pine Grove," by Mr. W. A. Norris '18; "Song of Spring," by Mr. A. Putnam '18; Mr. Putnam...
...national character of the University is important; and the Bulletin's correspondent pertinently calls attention to the failure of the College to grow in national representation. The Harvard ideal,-as expressed by President Eliot in an address in the Union two years ago,-is that of a "National University." The activities of Harvard clubs throughout the country and of the sometime territorial clubs are directed to this end, but they have been singularly barren of results. More than half the undergraduates are from Massachusetts alone; and the representation from the West is not increasing. The Graduate Schools are national...
...plan for an earlier beginning of the day, advocated in yesterday's CRIMSON, it is suggested that classes begin at 7.45 and end fifteen minutes before the hour up to 10.45, chapel to be held in the fifteen minutes between that hour and 11 o'clock. The time seems ideal, coming as it does in the middle of the morning session when more men would undoubtedly believe they could sacrifice the quarter of an hour than in the hurrying minutes before 9 o'clock...
