...Corps Cadets will blare defiance to Terry and all the overbearing horde of monitors. Some pie-pied piper will then draw out in linked sweetness the interminable train of senescent undergraduates from all the better bath-rooms in the Yard. It will be a big time for you, gentle reader,--yes, a very doggy day. Hats and tin cups will be doled out by the Capable Crowd,--a little group of earnest men who have signified their intention of helping in this great work. Also tubas with their individual mouth pieces,--some horn...
...more efficient censorship than that sporadically exercised by the Mayor of Boston will be necessary. "The Easiest Way" was a brutal play, dealing frankly with a brutal subject, but it at least succeeded in making vice hideous. Mr. Carb's play, "The Other Side," attempts to inform the reader (the play is fortunately too short for the stage) that for a woman there is more chance of happiness in vice than in unmarried virtue. Incidentally one happens to know that this is false and that the author knows it also. In a review later on in the Monthly, Mr. Westcott...
...merits of "The Case against the CRIMSON." The Monthly's attack cannot be said to express any settled or widespread grievance on the part of the community. The reader's first emotion is one of surprise. He wonders why, if things be as bad as all that, he has not heard of it before. That the CRIMSON fulfils its traditional functions effectively, and to the general satisfaction of the University, cannot seriously be disputed. But it is quite possible that the University might reasonably demand more. And this is the real point of the Monthly's attack. As a call...
...modern magazine, we may say is characterized by the "periodical" style. The recipe for a tale of this type is very simple; only two precautions are necessary. First, you must never tell your story directly and fully, you must only suggest its outline and leave the rest to your reader's imagination. Kipling is largely responsible for the vogue of this method, but his followers, among them the author of "The Heritage," with the eternal tendency of all pupils, exaggerate the master's distinctive virtues into vices, and as they skim lightly over the surface of their subject, touching...
...Riddle '74, instructor in elocution at the University from 1878 to 1881, died suddenly on Saturday morning at the Boston Relief hospital. He was born in Charlestown, September 22, 1851, and was graduated from the College with the class of 1874. Mr. Riddle began his public career as a reader of Shakspere, but in 1875 he turned to the stage. During the spring of 1876 he acted in New York with Edwin Booth. In the celebrated production of Sophocles' Oedipus in 1881, given in the original Greek by members of the University, he took the part of Oedipus. Of late...
