...result of Saturday's meet, the following eight men won the University track "H" for the first time: Frederic Stevens Allen '16, of Pelham Manor, N. Y.; Rollo Dacies Campbell '17, of Huntington, W. Va.; Robert Howell Davison '17, of Boston; George Anderson King, Jr., '18, of Washington, D. C.; Arthur Theodore Lyman, Jr., '16, of Boston; Thomas Ruston Pennypacker '16, of Cambridge; Edward Reese Roberts '16, of Cape Girardeau, Mo.; Arthur Edward Rowse, Jr., '18, of Arlington...
...consequently must be nearer the sparkling fountain of youth. This year, whatever may have occurred in the past, Lampy has not nodded, and now he crowns the end with this memorable little volume, that takes its place side by side with the earlier classic, the immortal journey of Rollo to Cambridge...

"At a House Party," by Clarence Britten is an attempt to tell one of the author's too-subtle, evanescent short stories in verse; it does not "get there" enough to make it quite worth while.

His "aesthete" is valuable if only for showing up the type for which the Monthly seems to have such admiration...

Arthur Wilson's "By a Window" contains one epithet which justifies it. I do not believe that Schofield Thayer's "Amica" exists in his imagination, much less in his experience; she is only a creature of his vocabulary. J. D. Adams's "The Greater Sunlight" conveys to me neither image nor idea nor emotion. The use of the word "lambent" should be forbidden to Monthly poets for the space of one year...
