Good contrasts are shown between the "Chanson du Crepuscule" by W. G. T--F and the snappy "On Cedar Hill" by E. N. P. which gives a fresh sense of rhythm. This issue leaves one with the impression I have always cherished, that the Advocate serves an excellent purpose. It gives a fair try-out to men who wish to express themselves in the simpler modes of literature. But I cannot believe that enough of the latent capacity of undergraduates is brought out in these fairly readable columns...
...This success was further attested last night when the song was sung at the mass meeting under the direction of the composer and was called for time after time. It took but a few minutes to learn it as it had few difficulties to present and the spirit and rhythm of the lines were highly contagious. It was a wise move on the part of the Song Committee to make use of this song even at this late date in the season, as it has qualities which entitle it to a high place among Harvard songs. It will stand...
...infrequently heard that the more the old songs were used to the exclusion of the new the better the singers as well as the listeners were satisfied. But this does not contradict the presumption that had a new song been written last year with the necessary vitality of rhythm adaptable to a large chorus it would have been taken up with an enthusiasm which the old stand-bys will soon fail to command. Half-hearted singing of unfamiliar songs is even worse than half-hearted cheering and infinitely more depressing. Last year it seemed as though the committee in charge...

In form, however, Sargent is the superior man of the two. His stroke has a better proportion and the rhythm is decidedly more even. The stroke that Yale is roivipg this year, as in the past two years is longer in the water than Harvard's, so that Harvard will have to row the faster stroke to win the race. The Harvard crew get their hands away faster...
...Cornell crew lacked the dash and rhythm so necessary in a race over a short course; they appeared unable to maintain a high rate of stroke and hardly exceeded 30 to the minute after the first of the race. The University crew, on the other hand, maintained a rate of 34 to the minute practically throughout the entire two miles, and finished at nearly 37. This had an important bearing on the result, as did also the fact that the crew rowed much better together than Cornell, who had rowed in the same order only four times previous...
