...doubt that "Divorcons" added to "Half an Hour" forms a full evening's pleasure--but as to whether or no Sardou and Barrie walking arm-in-arm make for harmony is quite a different story. The first part of Miss George's present bill is frothy, laughable--an in retrospect rather silly. Its pleasure lies almost wholly in the delightful acting of the star and Mr. Lawford. The Barrie portion of the program is concentrated power and emotion of a sadly scarce variety. Here the material with which the actors work is of far finer filre, and, perhaps...
Professor Emeritus J. C. Warren contributes "David Williams Cheever," a retrospect and an appreciation. Professor Cheever held the chair of surgery and later served as an Overseer. He was a teacher, a writer, and Professor Warren gives a clear idea of him as a sage and kindly example of the confidential family physician of the old school...
...Grotesque" by Mr. Norris contains a good idea, marred at times by a somewhat perfunctory technique. The "Phantasy," by Mr. Willcox, though abounding in color and imagination, is breathless in its movement; it reminds one of the "patter" of comic opera. Mr. Rogers is dreadfully sophisticated. But perhaps "Retrospect" is not his last word on life. "A Thought" represents him in a less heartless mood. Mr. Parson expresses in a meditative sonnet his awareness of the power...

It is only in retrospect that the relative importance of events becomes apparent, and not until the near approach of graduation is a student able to realize which of the varied experiences of his college career he would least desire to have omitted. With the lapse of time the Freshman Dinner stands out more clearly as one of these occasions. The new dormitories have made possible a greater development of acquaintanceships which last year stimulated attendance. Preparations are complete, and an entertainment has been...
...sonnet on "Nahant," Mr. W. A. Norris conveys his impression with some vividness, and in his "Lines" he re-works, not unpoetically, a somewhat familiar thought. Mr. A. Putnam, in his "Retrospect," gives one--perhaps mistakingly--the feeling that he is putting together cleverly but mechanically a poetical puzzle picture made of pieces sawed out of other men's poems. There is no suggestion of his having had anything to express that insisted on being uttered--though this criticism applies to a good deal of the verse in the present number. Mr. Sanger's "Panama Canal," though less imaginative than...
