...dropped by a cord to the earth below. Incidentally the cord in this procedure becomes a "thread of lustre" and Nicolette "a drop of radiance." The mediaeval romancer in his description of this episode had instincts which were truer because simpler. Though Mr. Cummings' imagination makes Swinburne's seem sluggish, the glimpse of any imagination whatever is too rare a joy to permit of cavil. Let us trust that this one may for a time be set to tend a Greek temple--or even to learn how Keats...
...little over $4,000. This is fairly satisfactory considering the number of men who have contributed. Nevertheless, the average contribution at present is almost exactly $10 per man, and considering the fact that the average among the Dartmouth undergraduates for their gymnasium was over $25 per man, it would seem as though Harvard can and should do better than this. In order to do this, it will be necessary for some of the men who have only contributed a small sum to hand in another contribution. Surely nearly every member of the University will be able to give $25 before...
...present time, those members of the class of 1913 who have sent in their pledges to the fund have responded most generously; $5,718.00 has already been pledged. As this is from only a trifle over one-quarter of the class, it would seem as though we should have a gratifyingly large class fund, provided the remainder give as willingly. The class of 1912 raised only $15,190.00; yet this was much larger than the fund which 1911 promised...

The men have taken good advantage of the work on the machines and in the tank, and seem to be now at a stage unusually advanced for this time of year. The prospects on the whole are bright. There is an abundance of good material to fill up the places of the five members of last year's eight who graduated last June, and the competition for the vacant...
Whether or not the new plan for financing debating will be successful remains to be seen. The interest stimulated by the Class Debates last fall would seem to give promise of a good sale of tickets for the coming contest, and we hope most optimistically that everyone will lend their aid in supporting an activity which has such an enviable list of victories...
