...success in the new quarters has been shown by the increased attendance at the lectures and smoke talks. These conferences will be held every two weeks for the rest of the year, and the usual doctrinal discourses will be given by the club chaplain, Rev. Charles A. Finn, during Lent...
...collection of prints from the engraved work of Robert Nanteuil (1623-1678), lent by Francis Bullard '86, of Boston, is now on view in the Print Room of the Fogg Art Museum. The Museum's own collection of works by Nanteuil is large, and of good average quality, but Mr. Bullard's collection contains a greater number of prints of rare excellence. In fact, two-thirds of this series consists of either first states or the only states of the plates represented.

Sheldon '08, despite its hackneyed theme, is marked notably by wit and artistic restraint. "A Sermon for Lent, by F. Schenck '09, is original, thoughtful, and pointed. "Romola," by H. Powel, Jr., '08, shows narrative power in the writer, but needs revision. As has been hinted above, however, none of the verse in the number deserves particular praise...
