Following is an article by R. T. Hale, entitled "The Old President's Chair." It is distinctly better in style than the preceding and reads with some interest. With the exception of an able article on the Harvard debating system, it is the only good thing in the whole number. Four poems, one in German, and an article on the visit of the Prince of Wales to Harvard have but little merit. The number closes with a review of "The Flame of Life," by Gabriele D'Anunzio. It is ambitious and extravagant and together with an article...
...next thing in the number is a long story entitled "Fate in Red," by D. L. The plot involves a somewhat unconventional love affair, but is handled in such a way that the reader's interest is held throughout. The writer displays a strong love for nature and gives several bits of exceedingly good description. One of the shorter stories, by the same author, entitled, "His Heart," gives a thrilling picture of a storm on a rocky coast, but there is very little plot and the ending is decidedly weak...
...seems a pity that the four best stories in the number should all be unsigned. They are, in order of merit, "The Repentance of Ford," a remarkably well drawn college story; "Same Thing, only Different," a very amusing improbable sketch; "A Boat Race," a bit of vivid reminiscence of which the title tells the substance; and "Rosinante," a brutal tale which portrays fairly well the state of mind of a lonesome man in the wilderness. In these four stories the touch of amateurishness, so common in work of this sort, is conspicuously absent. The other four stories, while unworthy...

A Christmas trip would be as popular now with the members of the musical clubs as it was in former times, and would do more than any one thing to restore them to the place in College which they formerly held. At risk of repetition it must again be urged that Harvard is in serious danger of being cut out by others where she should strain every nerve to keep a firm foothold; and I believe that the above...
...class are acquainted with over one hundred and fifty of these. Let any Senior take the list of voters and count up the men he knows even by sight and he will be surprised at the smallness of his total. This is a state of things which should not exist and which we can easily remedy. If all the Seniors wore caps and gowns we would at least know each other by sight, and we would bow when we passed. A bow is a little thing but it means a good deal. Then we would make it a point...
