With the first game of the season against the Boston Lacrosse Club on April 4, it is essential that team-work be developed. Though the entire attack of last year's team remains, a long practice is necessary for the development of the team as a whole and especially of the defence and goal-guard. Until the arrival of Coach Warwick of the Toronto professional team, N. B. Lincoln '13, last year's goal, and G. S. Simmons '13, who played in last year's defense, will assist P. Gustafson '12 in the development of the team...
Such a statement ought to have been uttered ages ago; for, it will appear, most of the editors of undergraduate publications have been attempting to meet the conditions these reviewers have imposed upon them, and, strange though it may seem to "the young assistant," one cannot grow up in a night--even after a scathing review of his "immature" style. It has grown upon me, as I have looked through the files of the CRIMSON reviews, preparatory to writing this letter, that the only persons to be trusted with a pen in criticising undergraduate literary efforts are professors...
...active business men in executive positions who have come to it for special courses of instruction. The interest of the business world has taken a new form in frequent inquiries from employers concerning men that may be available in the graduating class.

"Paraffine Percy," by Mr. Douglas, is the one piece of real distinction in the number. Even this would be better--nonsense though it is--if the ending were stronger. The laws of climax apply just as much to nonsense as to any other kind of writing...
...verse Mr. Cumming's "Nocturne" appeals through its intricate pattern and decoration, inducing a mood and sense of beauty, but lacking the truth to emotional experience achieved in Mr. Hillyer's "Night on the Mountain." The latter, though defective in rhyme, fails chiefly in the introduction of "death," and the last line, which escapes anticlimax by false hyperbole. The psychology of Tapolo, "contented" with a clear night while praying for rain, defies analysis. Much better is the heavily alliterative rendering from Tolstoi by Mr. Garland. Its last lines, however, leave the point insufficiently clear, while such phraseology as "wended their...
