...Freshmen interested in the work. With 13 events to choose from, every man can find an event suited to his particular qualifications. To play football a man must have strength above the ordinary, to play baseball he must have a good eye, in track work he must merely be sound physically. Slight men as a rule make the best distance runners and it has been demonstrated time and again that any man who will train for four years can make good time in the mile or two-mile. He may not be a world-beater but it is the second...
...University has always taken pride in the work of its Social Service Bureau. The department has gone about its work in a sound and business-like manner, as far removed as possible from the ordinary type of "drawing room" charity. The offer of the Appointment Office to investigate, upon request, the work of men in this field, with a view to determining their increased efficiency as teachers, in recommending them for positions, comes as an admission of the thoroughness of their work.

A short sail will be taken up the sound, the boat returning at 2.30 o'clock, and the passengers boarding the observation trains for the final race...
...more interesting form; the lines of the first stanza become successively the refrains of the following stanzas. Mr. Cummings contributes a "Ballade of Soul," a true ballade--of a more complicated type, however, than generally seen. Yet Mr. Cummings, for all the limited number of rhymes, makes his poem sound perfectly smooth and unforced. "Sunset," by Mr. Damon, is a brief impression. "To a Child," by Mr. Code has at times an amateurish ring. Nevertheless Mr. Code goes a great way in expressing the typical charm of a child--and it is often these simplest things that are hardest...
