...been assigned as coach to the Smith Halls team; D. Marks 3L. to Standish; and F. W. Aldenderfer uL. to the Gore eleven. Coach Rich will have supervision of the entire series. Captains for the three line-ups have been appointed as follows: A. P. Hinckley, Smith; C. McVeagh, Standish; and W. A. Coolidge, Gore. The first game will be played Monday afternoon between Smith and Gore. All who intend to participate in the series should report that afternoon to the coaches on Soldiers Field. On Tuesday the winner of the first contest will meet Standish, while last place will...
From Editorials to Verse Mother Advocate in the February number focuses her imaginative eye upon that "Sweet Dry and Dry" period which has slipped into place with so little outward effect. In fact, high tragedy has its day; from Mr. McVeagh's protagonist who "gathered up his feet and died" to Mr. Train's delightfully told adventures of Casimir Cashless and the Grand Keezer. Surely, if tradition err not, this is the number of numbers for an Eli to review. Coming from the wilds it has appeared to me that Harvard is essentially a quiet place where the soul...
...McVeagh, for his picture of Wordsworth at "cross purposes with nature," goes the palm for the verse of the number; in fact these unpublished utterances of the Lake Poet should most assuredly go into the next collected volume of Advocate verse. One might quarrel with Mr. Witter Bynner ('02) for disturbing buried desires; for no sooner has the Editorial with Common Sense buried King Spirits than along come most enchanting pictures of Cantors, with numberless grapes and Bacchus with "viney patterns of the veining of his nose." After that the Freudian wish is no more and the sole remaining bottle...
...McVeagh discusses prohibition in much the manner of the adept writer of theses, but with evident thoughtfulness, which makes his work readable and often highly interesting. "The Beaver"--a character study of a most likable beaver--is well written, Mr. Strouts' "Problem of Economics" is admirable of its kind, and Mr. Munsey's translation "From the Spanish" has a quality unusual in undergraduate publications. Possibly the other prose in the number does not attain the standard set by these three, but all of it is readable, and none of it is without interest as representative undergraduate production...
...real excitement in the number is Mr. McVeagh's "Horrible Suggestion" that compulsory attendance at all college classes be abolished. Whatever "horror" there may be in the plan, is mitigated by the lightness and persuasiveness of the plea. Surely here is bait for discussion, and no undergraduate harassed by the office should be without this able docu- ment. Possibly the office itself should be supplied with copies. In any case, it is to be hoped more may be written on the various sides of the subject...
