...University swimming team will compete in a meet with Wesleyan at Middletown, Conn., this afternoon. Although the team will be weakened by the absence of Captain H. Wentworth '17 and K. Merrick '19, the past week has seen a great improvement, both in the dashes and the diving. R. C. Jackson '19 will be acting captain...
...sport, and in a certain sense between two countries. Too often this sort of competition is marred by a distorted patriotism which takes the form of hatred and prejudice against the representatives of the other nation. Let us hope that this particular manifestation of childishness will not be seen tonight. Our country is at an acute crisis. It cannot afford to make enemies, even in a way apparently so unimportant. Our Canadian opponents should be greeted by a large crowd in an enthusiastic spirit of friendly rivalry...

Here, however, is a play in which a singular art has been carried to its height. We never miss the speaking, for we are absorbed in the delightfully foolish little plot and amazed at the grace of the whole thing. Pierrot's home and phrynette's boudoir furnish two admirable settings for an entire evolution of emotions and from nonsense to a tinge...
