It seems to me, said Mr. Quincy, that the need for University men as reporters is very great.

American scholarship will be judged, not by the quantity of routine work produced by routine workers, but by, the small amount of first class output of those who, in whatever branch stand in in the first rank.

It is noteworthy also that this sonnet should be the work of Percy Mackaye '97, who delighted all of us who heard the play with his strong musical verse in "Jeanne d'Arc." "Villanelle," by W. H. Wright Sp., and "The Descent of Istar into Hades" by J. H. Wheelock '08 enshrine some of the tricks...
