...more unique situation has ever existed on the morning of a Yale game. One cannot even be sure that the two captains will play and if they do, it will probably be only for a short period. In many respects it is a novel year. No Yale team ever started a season with a brighter outlook. The material was splendid, mostly veteran players. The 1908 team, however, has suffered more through injuries, first and last, than almost any team on record. On the other hand, no Harvard team in our memory has started the season with a squad...
...past middle life, in slender health, without experience in teaching, or indeed in routine work of any kind. His life had been that of a gentleman of leisure, spent in reading, travel, correspondence, and only occasionally writing for publication. With little technical training he undertook to teach a subject novel to the University, in which as yet there was no department; a subject, too, regarded with suspicion by influential sections of the community.

In the nineteenth century no courses whatever are at the disposal of the undergraduate, save one which treats of the English novel from its birth to the present day; this however, is "primarily for graduates." We wonder what has become of those excellent courses, English 8a and 8b, in which the romantic poets of the nineteenth century might be studied. It is true, English 28 and English 41 are open to undergraduates...
Henry Milner Rideout '99, whose book is reviewed by Mr. Castle below, has rapidly come into fame as a novel writer in the last three years.
