...Seldes appears here uttering. I think, his third lamentation over the deplorable condition of American fiction. In spite of his iteration, the reviewer is not convinced that American novels are as bad as Mr. Seldes believes, nor is he much enlightened by such a paradox as this: "They offer vividness, interest, lightness of touch, superficial interest; What perverse tenth muse broods over them, then, that they result only in stupidity, dullness, vanity, and vexation of spirit?"

Captain Storer has recovered from his strained leg and will start the game at right end. Soucy will take Trumbull's place at centre...
...somewhat different character, yet equally important, is the work of the committee on collecting clothes. Two or three times a year, the college is canvassed for its old clothes, and many men think it an imposition. If these men will consider, however, how much better qualified to know the best disposition of these old clothes a committee studying the subject is than they themselves are, they will help and not hinder this most important work...
