...Sempers' verses "Renunciation" are thoughtful and expressive. The theme is somewhat overwrought, however, and the passion too highly colored. The article on "Shakespeare the Playwright" gives evidence of a careful study of Shakespeare from an original point of view. It is an interesting as well as acceptable addition to the pages of criticism which have been written upon the greatest of all English writers. The style of the article is halting and uneven.

...fourth and last game with Princeton was played Saturday, and resulted in another victory for Harvard The game was by far the best played of the series and was won only by superior batting. The confidence of the University in the ability of the nine, though somewhat shaken by the defeat at New Haven two weeks ago, has been fully restored by the splendid work in the last two Princeton games. The batting in particular has greatly improved, while the fielding is steadier and more accurate. The game with Yale next Saturday will be the most important...
