...burlesque has grown to in our day, anything approaching Offenbach operabouffe has a strong smack of the "legitimate." We rather wonder that this sort of thing has not occurred to the Pudding before; for what could be more appropriate? An old and much-honored club of university undergraduates would seem almost predestined to this sort of wild caricature of the classic in its theatrical doings; the whole genre has an academic flavor which should have recommended it to the Pudding long ago. Here is real burlesque, worthy of the name, a caricature of something; not the inane and insane business...
...have put up this season. With the exception of Whittemore's two errors, the fielding was swift and sure. The outfield had little work to do. For the infield Winslow and Stevenson put up the best games. The fielding of the former was very good, but he does not seem to know what to do when he reaches a base. This fault is noticeable with the whole nine, and by careless base-running and poor coaching to men on bases many good chances for scoring are lost. Highlands pitched steadily, striking out five men and giving but two bases...
...class and Alma Mater which causes so many of our athletes to remain in active training during the coming vacation, which is to bring to other members of the University much welcomed rest and recreation.

Up to this time the experience of Dante in the world of the dead has been preternatural; from this time on it is supernatural. That there is much in this part of the Divine Comedy that will seem crude in conception is unquestionable, but to the careful student and to the lover of higher poetry, Dante's picture of Paradise will be a fitting conclusion to his wonderful poem. In studying Dante we should bear in mind that he had no mode or guide to follow in his writing...
...expense of the course can be made much smaller than would at first seem possible by a system of clubbing together for the purchase of the books, which can almost all be obtained in cheap editions, or taken out of the library. While the course will be an unusually interesting one, it will be seen that it will require a fair amount of outside work, and no one who is unwilling to give sufficient time to the subject should elect it. The primary object is to make men read current literature intelligently and to establish sound principles of criticism...
