...fire, in addition to a Browning machine gun; sectionalized projectiles and fuses for the 75 mm., 3 inch, and 155 mm. gun; McClellan saddle and saddle bags; and a cavvesson. The fire control apparatus consists of a battery commander's telescope, battery commander's periscope, aiming circle, one meter base range finder, field telescope; and portable switch boards, and plotting boards. Captain Dick will be very glad to explain the use of these instruments to any member of the University who is interested...
...contains. Mr. Code's sonnet is specific and lively; but it contains a nine-syllabled verse, and an Alexandrine. The latter can scarcely be intentional, since it is not the final verse. The sonnet form is so exacting that it is seriously damaged by stray lines which violate the meter. Mr. Henderson's sonnet exhibits only moderate skill. Of all the sonnets, Mr. Nelson's has the best versification; but it is disappointing in that the thought of the sestet and the relation of the sestet to the octave are not clearly brought...
...even graceful, if nothing else; his "August Night" is an example of free verse more sincere and pleasing than is often found among the poems of the High Priestess of vers libre. Mr. Putnam translates a Horatian ode into blank verse; since Horace does better in a swinging meter, an appreciative translation loses interest. Mr. Parson's free verse seems strained and unhappy; the idea of the same poet's "Art" deserves a better expression. Mr. Allinson contributes to the campaign literature of the day, recently dignified (or chinafied, as many have it), by the pen of Dr. Eliot...

Rogers '18, are both excellent examples of meter, but there seems to be something lacking in them to take away the mechanical feeling. "The Shepherd" of W. Willcox '17 is certainly not equal to the other works of this poet, nor does "The Tryst" by W. H. Nes uC. make any valuable addition to an anthology of American...
...multifarious duties of the subaltern. Military science has progressed so much in recent years as to require the highest degree of training on the part of the officer. To exercise intelligent command of troops, to know how to lead and to care for men, to make brain and body meter with the greatest gain and the minimum loss, mean close study and constant application covering a period of years, not months...
