Great things were expected in the quarter-mile and they happened, but not from the men they were expected from. Young of Amherst started second from the pole and secured the lead at an early stage in the race. H. W. Kelley '11 had to exert himself to keep from being boxed and swung into second position after running 150 yards.

Mr. Carb's play, "The Other Side," attempts to inform the reader (the play is fortunately too short for the stage) that for a woman there is more chance of happiness in vice than in unmarried virtue. Incidentally one happens to know that this is false and that the author knows it also. In a review later on in the Monthly, Mr. Westcott says that we sometimes hear that...
