...plans for the club's coming season are fairly well in shape, and represent a somewhat changed policy. There will be fewer concerts than formerly, but those which are given will be important. The principal fall events will be trips to New Haven for the dual concert with Yale, and to Fall River. In the spring, concerts will be given at the New York Harvard Club, and at Providence. Furthermore, another Intercollegiate Meet may be given in New York, and the Glee Club has been honored with an invitation to participate in the Apollo Club's April concert in Boston...
...deposit vault. Under the new board it appears bent on emerging from those purple shades where the pleasant but inconsequent art of canning the "best literary product of the University" has mildly flourished. It has tried to creep out before, only to be thrust back by a surprised and somewhat upset graduate board.

The announcements of the society itself are largely responsible for this misconception. Place the responsibility where you will, however, the duty rests with Phi Beta Kappa to make its position plain...
...part justified, Mr. Butler-Thwing characterizes his slender volume of Verses and prose Essays as "the sincere, even if badly expressed, life-and-death thoughts of a very young man." The Essays, though competent in style, will hardly outlive the occasion which they originally served. The Verses have somewhat more of significance and distinction. Thoughtful and manifestly sincere, they are the expression of a serious mind which has not yet reached its full maturity. Without sincerity there is no great art, but sincerity alone is not quite the whole story. Mr. Butler-Thwing's poems are marked by delicacy...
