...pages in lighter tone are occupied by Mr. W. M. E. Whitelock's "The Extenuating Circumstance"; H. C. L.'s "College Kodaks"; "A Leaf from a Log," by Thorvald S. Ross; and T. W. A.'s "I Remember"; while the contributions of verse are from T. S. Eliot and C. P. Aiken. The November issue is a particularly well-balanced number, for which there should be a wide call among Harvard men all over the country if for no other reason than from the fact that first in importance among its contents comes Mr. Lunt's statement of the present...

Holmes was graduated from Harvard College with the famous class of 1829, immortalized in many of his lighter poems. His name has always been closely associated with that distinguished New England group of men of letters which attained so enviable a position in the second half of the last century. As poet, essayist and physician, Holmes was equally successful. He lectured for many years in the Harvard Medical...
...with these. "The Taming of the Shrew" is a Robert Chambers tale of a southern man and a college cousin who emerge, like Shadrach and Abednego, from a very vivid forest fire to find themselves engaged. "Idle Thoughts of an Idle Art," is a typical college essay of the lighter sort, pleasant, facile, well-written, and without much significance...
