...Senior's battles with the Faculty are all but over: one examination is all that can separate him from his degree; the rest of us are still plodding the long, long, trail that may eventually lead to graduation. In this peregrination Class Day is the gate of heaven to the Senior; to the undergraduate it is just a resting place before further struggles...
...Peerage is decidedly the cleverest contribution to a clever number. Another feature is the second instalment of a sort of Baedaker of Sever Hall, known as Moments With the Courses, in the present number of which English 10 is belabored. Of the rest, one notices the verse as much above the standard of past years. Browning and Wordsworth supply the matter for two successful parodies; Austin Dobson inspires a graceful "Linguistic Lamentation." The best of the prose is a Russian tragedy known as a "Takeov of Tchekov" (it is); the best drawings are Merwin's individual and amusing sketches...
...Advocate, while the verse is for the most part pleasantly negligible, the prose approximates the brilliant. Not without exceptons, to be sure: Mr. Dill's ghost story and Mr. Spark's description of ambulance service at Verdun are, particularly in the former instance, below the average of the rest. Mr. Dill's efforts to create atmosphere are at the same time overdone and stereotyped. His method is cumulative rather than selective, and for that reason he fails to convince. Mr. Sparks, though he is more successful, shows the disposition, frequent in the immature realist, to shock his reader by calling...
...acquitted themselves remarkably well. Of the two stories the former is the more ambitious, and is, perhaps, partly on that account, the more uneven. The semi-detached prelude, in which for a moment the author intrudes in his personal capacity, quite unnecessarily, is not altogether in tune with the rest of the story. Despite, however, its occasional lapses into the immature and inept, the story as a whole is vividly and consistently imagined, vigorously told, and shows in several instances an acute understanding of human motive. Mr. Henderson's study, on the other hand, though simpler in theme, is much...
...annual spring play of the Yale Dramatic Association has also been given up. The rest of the commencement program conforms to the traditional arrangement of events, Sunday and Monday, June 16 and 17, are essentially the same, save for the omission of any exercises but the planting of the college class ivy. Wednesday, June 19, with its commencement exercises, alumni luncheon and president's reception, remains unchanged...
