Among the poems, the most ambitious is J. H. wheelock's "Paris and Oenone," a remarkably successful attempt to treat a Greek theme in a Greek manner, even to the Introduction of a chorus. The verse is somewhat uneven, but the poem as a whole is well sustained and the handling of the chorus and the difficult stichomythia is unusually good. As a minor point it may be noted that the characterization of Paris as the "husband of Helen of Troy, mortally wounded by the arrow of Philoctetes" and of Oenone as "a demi-goddess--who can heal mortal wounds...
...surplus of athletic receipts beyond the sums needed for current athletic expenses to the extinguishment of the debt on the Stadium until that is paid;" and after that is accomplished--a task which in all probability will require two and probably three years--"to reduce gate receipts in such manner as it shall decide, so that there shall only be sufficient surplus each year for the gradual development of the athletic grounds and buildings of the University...
...Though one feels an echo of the Dowson kind of poetry, the echo is passed on with a new voice, a voice not so sickly and more ingenuous. In Mr. W. G. Tinckom-Fernandez' "Clerk o' Cardiff" there's a whiff of good story, an insistent refrain, and a manner of words and rhythms reminiscent of Kipling through Alfred Noyes.

...most original of the Elizabethan comedies in wit, plot and character-drawing, and is a burlesque of the ranting plays so much in favor at the time, and of the ignorant London playgoers, who applauded them. It was presented last night as nearly as possible after the manner of its production in Elizabethan days, and was therefore staged very simply, signs being used to indicate the scenes. The music, which as far as possible has been adapted for the production from original melodies, was arranged by A. M. Hurlin 1G., who substituted for many of the songs that were unavailable...
...subordinate part. H. E. Widener '07 as Abadiah Butterworth," the self-made man, was the thing itself. He stayed in his part, and he never failed to make his points carry. As the sheriff in the burlesque he was even better, and his complete change of voice, method and manner, proved that his genuineness in the other role had been skill and not accident. His control of the situation was so perfect that the audience came near forgetting that the piece was a burlesque, and his exit was followed by a storm of applause. J. J. Rowe...
