...sorry that pending examinations kept so many undergraduates from Mr. Noyes's reading last night. Such is the rarity of addresses of great literary and poetic merit that they ought to be received with at least as much enthusiasm as the hoard of political and social lectures which occur so frequently at more favorable times.

...Dramatic Club spring productions have now been completed. The three plays which have been finally selected for presentation are--"The Wedding Dress," by Miss Katherine McDowell Rice, Radcliffe; "The Good News," by J. F.

The second is a story of revenge set in the Viking days with an injured woman...

Mist, Water-Lilies, Dusk, Evening in the Town, To Snowflakes Dancing Before My Window, In Memoriam, Their First Ride Together; Wordsworth, Herrick, Tennyson, Browning! The mantle of the great upon the shoulders of another generation of poetic youth! Poetry is not dead, whatever may have been one's feelings after reading Number 1 of the new Poetry Journal...
...impression that they are a nation of individualists, free from the restraint of other than common law, with free institutions and customs? Examination of documentary evidence gives merely the political, territorial, external history of the people, Literature must be the fountain of their inward, intimate history.
