...best performance of the evening was that of "The Clod." Here the acting was so good as to make the illusion complete, and one became absorbed wholly in the story. It is a tale of the Civil War, but that threadbare theme appears for once in a new and surprising form. The principal character a woman too dull to apprehend the great meanings of the conflict, too apathetic to be moved by the peril of thirty thousand men, is by an insult which would seem comparatively trivial to others, but which wounds her only pride, suddenly turned into a fury...
Following the plan of co-operation between English A and the Freshman courses in Government, Philosophy, and Classics, announcement was made yesterday that students in classics might submit translations of the first seven odes of the first book of Horace in place of a long theme in English A.

Mr. Bradley Randall's "Memoir of my Dead Past" deals with a phase of experience too remote from the reviewer for him to pass judgment on its truth. But it is clearly the kind of thing that must be handled delicately if at all: and it is hardly suitable material for the experiment of an apprentice. Mr. R. S. Mitchell...
