...Putnam, in his sonnet, is at pains to ... "Make impassioned sense believe That memory improves my dull today." Mr. Sanger's "Aeroplanes" has a good swing. The "Grotesque" by Mr. Norris contains a good idea, marred at times by a somewhat perfunctory technique. The "Phantasy," by Mr. Willcox, though abounding in color and imagination, is breathless in its movement; it reminds one of the "patter" of comic opera. Mr. Rogers is dreadfully sophisticated.

...likely to arise" between Coach Herrick and Captain Morgan. Such an inference would indeed be deplorable, and the CRIMSON in its first editorial on this subject tried to dispel all doubts of co-operation between Coach Herrick and Captain Morgan. It must be admitted, however, that even though such an unfortunate inference should occur, its harm would be negligible when compared to the great and lasting good obtainable by the suggested change in policy...
