...historian he showed considerable power in his Porte Royale, an article on the religious movement of the seventeenth century. But he was first and last a critic. With him the writer was regarded as an individual, and he thought the first duty of the critic was to know him. It was an excellent method, but it was one apt to give, instead of criticism, too many incidents of the author. In general tone his criticisms are happy and good natured and in touch with humanity. His irony is keen and delicate, and while he is sometimes diffuse he is never...
...should like to call the attention of '94 and '95 men to the notice of a meeting of candidates for the CRIMSON this evening at half past seven. Probably few of them have ever thought of trying for the paper or even know how they should set about to do it.

...regard to enthusiasm at the games, a word might be said about a just distribution of applause. On this point we know we have the concurrence of some of the men most interested in base ball. From a standpoint of justice as well as of courtesy, the college ought to extend as warm a welcome as possible to the visiting teams and applaud their good plays. This is the only gentlemanly way in which to enter into sport, and it is a custom which should prevail as if by instinct in every branch of Harvard athletics. In the past, there...
