...music, by A. W. Denison '03, has great variety. The songs are lively and catchy and are well suited to the development of the plot. The book, by R. E. Edwards 02 and P. L. Coonley '03, presents many humorous situations. The costumes will be copied from those worn by Filipinos and will show the crude but rich colors that are characteristic of their dress. The scenery also is planned to represent as closely as possible the actual houses, streets and landscapes of the Philippine Islands...
...such a lucid style and marked by such a clear and sympathetic understanding of the subject as to be equally pleasant and valuable. "The Misdirected Vengeance of Bucknell," by S. A. Welldon, is a strong story, well worth reading; "Greer's Dam," by L. M. Crosbie, is stronger in plot than in treatment...
...England, 1677; the Rev. Samuel Willard's "Useful Instructions," 1673; the earliest Boston imprint, 1675; the earliest medical treatise printed in this country, 1678; the earliest book-eatalogue published in America, 1693; Bonner's map of Boston, 1722; the earliest print of Harvard College, 1726; a plot of Cambridge Common, 1784; Butler's map of Groton, Massachusetts, 1832.

The plot of Cambridge Common was drawn by Joshua Green...
...plot of "Der Herr Senator" hinges on the unfortunate relations between a young husband and his wife's parents. The father in-law, Senator Anderson, is fully conscious of his dignity as a senator, and sincerely believes that his daughter Agathe owes her first duty to him, and not to her husband. The young couple also has the misfortune to occupy an apartment directly above that of the senator; and accordingly Agathe, who has been brought up to think as her father does, spends most of her time with her parents. Whenever the young husband, Mittelbach, offers...
...three stories. Of the poems, perhaps the most considerate treatment--and for a reader the most profitable treatment is to pass them by. "The Story of a Diamond Ring," by G. C. St. John, is hardly worth its seven pages of space; it has an original and interesting plot, which might have been the foundation for a good story of less length, but is not capable of giving vividness to column after column of dialogue, description and rather inefficient character portrayal. "The Innocence of John," by E. L. Pearson, a story dealing with the Yale - Harvard game, is interesting...
