...less at the mercy of his form, as the words "all the world is fay" too plainly reveal: unsatisfactory workmanship clogs much of whatever poetic thought the sonnet contains. Mr. Code's sonnet is specific and lively; but it contains a nine-syllabled verse, and an Alexandrine. The latter can scarcely be intentional, since it is not the final verse. The sonnet form is so exacting that it is seriously damaged by stray lines which violate the meter. Mr. Henderson's sonnet exhibits only moderate skill. Of all the sonnets, Mr. Nelson's has the best versification...
...interesting and productive fields in which the School has developed thorough plans of study are insurance and lumbering. In the former, four courses are now open for the second half year, and in the latter two. In connection with the specialization in lumbering, the School has made arrangements with a lumbering camp to have students spend four weeks in the summer preceding the fall opening observing timber and studying and milling operations.

...face of these restrictions the growing number of students and courses has demanded an ever-increasing teaching force. The latter has jumped since 1905 from 279 to 326.

The scrimmage ended when Abbott and Wendell collided, and the latter found himself minus a front tooth. Both teams set a fast pace at the start of the scrimmage, although the University seven did not look quite as good as they did against the substitutes the day before. Percy was given a day off, Condon taking his place and scoring...
...source of mild surprise to some of us that the CRIMSON has so naively put its head into the noose that the Army League is known to have strung for it. Upon a telegraphic summons from the latter organization, which is lobbying indefatigably for compulsory military service, the CRIMSON obligingly announces a policy of actively favoring military training, calls for a straw-vote without any previous discussion of the question, and arranges to send an official delegation to Washington on Thursday to lay the convincing results before the Senate Military Affairs Committee, in order to counteract the staggering effect...
