...home," and following an instrumental duet by two of them, it was suggested that all join in singing "something that everybody knew." But it seemed there was almost no song which everybody knew, and after a pathetic rendering of "Oh You Beautiful Doll" and "The Ragtime Violin," somewhat more successful assaults were made on the football songs. It is little wonder that, after a dismal rehearsal of "Fair Harvard," the professor commented sadly upon the inability of Harvard students to sing...
...very instructive article on the undergraduate life of Phillips Brooks by J. B. Langstaff begins with the somewhat startling statement that "in his profession Phillips Brooks stands as the most influential person in the history of America." The exaggeration may be overlooked in so sincere an admirer as the author, especially since the sincerity of his admiration has inspired this study.

Gee, of Exeter, 6-4, 3-6, 8-6. Herd usually plays a slashing game, somewhat after the style of McLoughlin, with very swift service. He placed poorly at the start yesterday, however, and his unsteadiness cost him the first set with Caner, who was placing very well. Caner soon lost his steadiness, however, while Herd got control of himself and placed his drives much more...
