...Morse graduated from the Scientific School in 1858. In 1861, he became first lieutenant of the Second Massachusetts Volunteers; in 1862, he was appointed captain, the following year, major, and in 1865, lieutenant-colonel. He fought in four of the most important battles of the civil war: Gettysburg, Cedar Mountain, Antietam and Chancellorsville. All the Harvard survivors of the war will be invited, and will be guests at a luncheon given by the Memorial Society. The usual march and exercises will take place...
...Beach '13, author of "Let's Get Married," has written "The Clod," a short play laid in the mountain districts of the South at the time of the Rebellion.

A typical example was a temple erected on a stone which slanted...
...verse Mr. Cumming's "Nocturne" appeals through its intricate pattern and decoration, inducing a mood and sense of beauty, but lacking the truth to emotional experience achieved in Mr. Hillyer's "Night on the Mountain." The latter, though defective in rhyme, fails chiefly in the introduction of "death," and the last line, which escapes anticlimax by false hyperbole. The psychology of Tapolo, "contented" with a clear night while praying for rain, defies analysis. Much better is the heavily alliterative rendering from Tolstoi by Mr. Garland. Its last lines, however, leave the point insufficiently clear, while such phraseology as "wended their...
