...Dramatic Club paid the penalty of a somewhat soaring ambition, yet achieved a result of which it has no need to be ashamed and from which it may fairly draw encouragement
...find a useful occupation. In "The Song of the Little Singer" Mr. E. S. Lewis expresses himself with great ease and modesty; his last two lines are particularly pleasing. Mr. R. A. Morton writes of the Boylston street bridge, using fact, imagination, and a photograph. The style is somewhat journalese. Mr. Fang Shik Chien writes on "The American Football in the Eye of an Oriental."

In each game it has shown a consistent improvement in spite of the fact that in almost every instance some of the regulars were not in the line-up. The development has been somewhat slow, for Coach Haughton has used the same methods and tactics which he employed a year ago. In the early games, which the University team had practically no difficulty in winning, the new material was given a try-out. It was not until the Williams game, in which the Harvard...
