...best of the poetry is in the first stanza of Mr. Morrison's unnamed poem and Mr. Behn's "Mid-Day".

"To Teon Apostate" has rhetorical possibilities with more of a philosophical message than the rest. "I Spent a Day in Dreamland" by A. M. Dobson is a pretty musical rhyme with just a little wastefulness at the end. It is pleasant to read but leaves no splendorous impression.

Vitkin, raised the Dean total to five...
Both sides scored in the third, the Freshmen getting two runs and the visitors their lone tally. In the final stanza 1923 put the game on ice by scoring three more runs on two hits and some clever base-running coupled with weird throwing and fielding by Rindge...
