Mario Chamlee tells a diverting story about his first performance as the Duke in Rigoletto at the Metropolitan Opera House, Manhattan. The baritone role was sung by De Luca. Now, De Luca is a very merry person, as are many who excel in tragic parts. His round, snub-nosed face was made for mirth, especially its wide, thin-lipped mouth, which even in repose is curved like a jocose crescent. When De Luca sings, he grimaces in such a way that his mouth carries the leer of a laughing satyr...
...proposed snub to General Pershing by certain officers of the Twenty-sixth division is unworthy of those who should, by their actions and by their attitude, prove themselves fit to uphold the American traditions of military courtesy.

...control in the matter, as she is wanted by all parties. When she submits to us a proposition for a dual league, it will be well enough to consider the matter. But to do so now surely puts us in an attitude undignified and cowardly, gives Princeton an undeserved snub, and secures for us her enmity and absolutely nothing else whatever. We seem to forget that so long as the Yale-Princeton game occurs in New York on Thanksgiving day, it will remain the great event of the year, the one that brings in most money to the athletic associations...
