Nothing is more difficult to write than drama. Mr. Sheldon has avoided part of his task, in using the quick, easy, and inconclusive stop of suicide, but up to the point where he thus drops an unfinished situation his workmanship in this most trying field is admirable. This is a case, I imagine, of decided gifts waiting for material on which to work. Travel papers are not a favorable form in which to reveal what is special to the writer.

...April recess, and matches are now being arranged with the various golf clubs of Massachusetts. It is also probable that a match will be arranged with Dartmouth, possibly on April 27, the date of the baseball game with Dartmouth.

The boat rests are also set up; and, on the river side, the glass in the windows and doors is in place. The lockers, which are to be of iron, will be installed within a few days...
