...other colleges, yet it is not appreciated at home. As a result, although it may be said to have won a recognized place for itself, its fight is not yet over. The undergraduate although he has heard of the remarkable performances of the Dramatic Club, is unintelligent enough to prefer to spend far more money to see a play in Boston. Let him remember that plays produced by the Dramatic Club have been, and will be produced in Boston theatres. He is not seeing inferior plays or inferior acting when he attends the dramas to be given in Brattle Hall...
...verse, I prefer Rollo Britten's "The Little Boy at the Sea Shore," with its suggestion of Blake to the Swinburne Poe-Henley grimness of "Faith Lies Sick." Arthur Wilson's "By a Window" contains one epithet which justifies it. I do not believe that Schofield Thayer's "Amica" exists in his imagination, much less in his experience; she is only a creature of his vocabulary. J. D. Adams's "The Greater Sunlight" conveys to me neither image nor idea nor emotion. The use of the word "lambent" should be forbidden to Monthly poets for the space of one year...

If the Freshman game is fixed for next Saturday, why not play it in the morning, and so, at least, make it a possibility to see both...
...supposed to be a matter of athletic etiquette for two teams to have nothing to do with each other before a game; it is natural, also, that our visitors should prefer to stay in Boston rather than in the enemy's country previous to a contest. There ought, however, to be a little time after the game for the interchange of those social civilities which could not but bring Harvard into closer connection with other colleges without destroying the true spirit of rivalry. If the visiting team has to hurry away so early that there is no time...
