...regret to hear that the freshman class is acting in such an unpatriotic manner with regard to the team that is to represent them to day. It is evident that the members of '91 are novices in college life customs, or they would realize the mistake they are making. They can have no idea of the stimulating effect of enthusiastic cheering, or they would certainly go to New Haven and support their team. If the freshmen eleven is beaten, it will be a bitter lesson to the class, and all the more bitter because the blame will lie with them...

If the difficult solos that resound nightly through the entries, can be taken as evidence, we should feel justisfied in saying that there is plenty of talent in college though, perhaps, as yet uncultivated. Men who were here two years ago will remember what an addition to the glees Mr. Cary's whistling made. The Glee Club...
...regret that lack of space prevents my speaking at greater length of the exceptional merit of the translations given in "Some Studies in Catullus." In many instances they surpass for perfection of rendering and beauty of English, the translations of Leigh Hunt and a host of other poets, not to speak of the clumsy productions of a pedantic Munroe. It gives an admirer of Catullus intense pleasure to see his spirit caught so thoroughly and rendered so well in our mother-tongue...
