...institution peculiarly Princeton's own, is a thing of the past and the verdant freshman now rejoiceth much. Special regulations were adopted this year to the effect that no foot-ball men should be allowed to spree. The freshmen, by superior coaching, took the first two canes, the light-weight and the middle-weight. The struggle for the heavy-weight cane was a stubborn contest; after working hard for one hour and forty minutes, neither man was able to wrest it from his opponent and the cane was divided, the freshmen thus getting 2 1-2 canes and the sophomores...

There are one or two striking lines, and upon the whole this is the strongest work recently published by Mr. Baker. A review of 'Herrick and His Verse," by Mr. F. S. Palmer, is light in handling and therefore well balanced in treatment. It is almost impossible to criticize such a writer as Herrick by the methods which ordinarily obtain in literary criticism.
