...verse in the number, as well as the prose, is marked by sincerity, but it is curiously inarticulate. For once the poets seem to have had more to say than they were able skilfully to express in rhyme and rhythm. We have that rare thing in college verse the substance more interesting than the form...
...innovation in winter indoor track is planned by the track management to conclude this year's indoor work. A huge carnival will be held in Mechanics Hall on the evening of February 23, under the auspices of the Boston Athletic Association. This will be the biggest thing hitherto attempted in winter track work and will take the place of the carnival ordinarily held at the board track on Soldiers Field and in the Gymnasium.

But those engaged in them have never begun to do such practical work for peace as have the men who in actual practice succeeded in reducing certain of these theories to action. For instance, it was a fine thing to establish The Hague court; but, having been established, the court was never used, for it was found to be infinitely easier to pass lofty resolutions as to its existence than actually to get any power, any nation, under any circumstances, to try to take advantage of it.
