...Roger I. Lee '02, professor of hygiene, in an article in the Alumni Bulletin affirms that the athletic heart is normal and that the usual claim that the athlete's heart is enlarged because of his activities is wrong. He draws his conclusions from examinations made upon more than 2,000 students, including the members of the University crew.

He, too, is subtle and sensitive, bat not a bit serious, and he makes us feel that his irresponsible hero is an actual human, attractive, normal Harvard undergraduate, a trivial person, no doubt, but far more appealing than the disembodied soul who suffers through the story by Mr. Wright. Mr. Paulding has not made an important contribution to American fiction, but he has written easily the best thing in the Monthly, which leads one to hope that he will keep on writing college stories with the same delicate...
