Coach Donovan had charge of the candidates for the relay teams, and gave them a short workout on the 130-yard board track near the Locker Building. He would make no further statement about the prospects of the team than to say, "It is hard to say what kind of team we shall have this year. It depends largely upon whether or not Willcox leaves after mid-years. The loss of Bingham leaves two positions hard to fill, as he ran on the long and short relay teams. There seems to be no one out now who would be able...
...clipping says confidentally that Mr. Russel would probably not be asked to take a chair "held by such men as Professor Palmer and Professor Royce." The implication that Mr. Russell's ability and achievements as a philosopher are slight and not comparable to those of the men whom Harvard has, in the last few years, lost, is too wholly absurd to be taken seriously by anyone who has kept at all abreast of modern philosophic thought. Mr. Russell has established himself so firmly in philosophy that it is not untrue to say that in England today there is a "Russian...
...honest and clear-headed student of philosophy would be forced to say of Mr. Russell, no matter how much he disliked his philosophy, that no single man is better fitted to "make philosophy a living interest in this America of ours which so greatly needs it." A bowing acquaintance with philosophy "in this America of ours" at the present day would have made it clear to the writer that exactly that is what Mr. Russell's work as much as the work of anybody is actually doing.

Yesterday's hockey practice marked the end of work for the University squad until Monday, January 1, and in commenting on the progress of the men Coach Winsor would say no more than they were "coming by degrees." He placed G. Townsend '17 at right wing in the place of R. H. Kissel '19 and the former measurably strengthened the forward line, and scored the first goal in a scrimmage with the B. A. A. Seven. T. K. Fisher '17 was out of the game with a bruised ankle, but Kissel's injured foot is all right again...
...notable in the collection, one receives the same impression that one so often gets from Harvard papers: here are a lot of clever young men who have read a good deal and know how to write; they are civilized, intelligent, sensitive, literary--but they haven't very much to say for themselves. The poets, particularly fail to express anything vital or even individual. They write pretty fair verse in a good many different forms. Sonnets predominate, but there are specimens of ballade, epigram, stanzas, irregular rhyme and blank verse. There is the usual meteorological trend--snow, wind, waves, sunset...
