...Graduates' Magazine for March contains a great deal that will be read with much surprise, not only by those who have left the University, but by undergraduates as well. Two topics of keen interest in undergraduate life--football and seminars--are discussed in a way which is sure to attract a harmful notoriety. The article on football, by Professor Hollis, which ends with the surprising statement that it would be best to give up the Yale game, comes from the pen of one who has long been identified with the sport, but has a conclusion not only revolutionary, but entirely...
...force by the too common artifice of writing at the top of one's voice. "O-Yuki-San's Love" is almost photographic in its vivid description of Japanese life. With scenes more nearly within the average reader's experience, there are great possibilities for a writer of such keen observation...
...competition for Campbell's old place at left end has been very keen and has been settled only during the last week. There were a number of good men for the position, and all of them--Jones, Clark, Burgess, Randall and Motley--were given trials.

He is, however, a trifle too slow in determining where plays are going and gives practically no help...
...will occupy the vacant positions on the team. Wright or Shea will probably be first choice men for left tackle but neither is a strong player. Knowlton or Mills will be in the other tackle position, but both are weak in defensive work.

King is playing well at centre and except for possibility of improvement on the part of Lyon, his substitute at present, is likely to hold his place. A Marshall is a capable...
...called rather scholarly than interesting. The "West of Paris," by W. M. Fullerton, is a description of the country made famous by the historical memories of Louis XIV and other figures of his time; the article is somewhat strained and obviously queer in style, but the interest of its keen, appreciative observations is sufficient to make one forget its defects. "The Renaissance Essay of Walter Pater," by K. C. M. Sills, "The Prose Style of Thomas Hardy," by J. P. Sanborn, Jr., and "Lowell's Political Ideas and Ideals," by H. L. Warner, are perhaps instructive, but hardly make interesting...
