...result is a really valuable English presentation of Virgil's wonderful poem. Mr. Hamilton leaves the beaten track of translators. He introduces the innovation of making each character speak in a different metre. This, of course, is in direct violation of Virgil's hexameter. His plea in self-defense is an able presentation of his side of the case; but it is still doubtful whether it can be justified. The book is will worth a careful examination...
...that the enthusiasm in boating matters is so productive of self-sacrifice, it seems quite in place for us to urge the college boating men of long experience to select some one of their number as coach for the candidates for the freshman crew.

Ninety-two is a large class, and we feel sure...

The self-favoring "invitation" addressed to freshmen by certain of the sophomores, demanding entertainment for their superior lordships, is a proceeding which, the freshman may believe, the better sentiment of the college utterly despises, and we shall heartily congratulate those who have received such "invitation" if they refuse to notice them...
