...greatly improve both its appearance and its condition. A new cinder path 14 feet wide and about a mile long will encircle almost the entire field; and a path will also be built from the Newell Gate to the other side of the grounds. The waste ground known as Longfellow Marsh will be drained and filled in, and will probably be used in part of tennis courts. The remainder of the field will be leveled, graded and put into good shape for athletic grounds...
...been the policy of the Athletic Committee so far as possible to accumulate enough money to replace the unsightly wooden seats on Soldiers Field, and to improve the property outside of the old dyke, removed when the driveway was made. Few students today realize what Longfellow Marsh and Soldiers Field were five years ago.

Stimson '76, show no signs of age except in the appended dates of their respective authors...
...method of treating individuals is notable. Professor Wendell does not take Holmes, Bryant, Whitman, and Longfellow and treat them as unrelated individuals, but takes the work of each as a special medium through which to see American character. The great fault of previous looks on American literature has been that they have over-estimated the merits of American authors. Professor Wendell, though thoroughly American in spirit, is almost too reluctant in his praise of our best literature...
