Custom, aided by natural reluctance to speak plainly, has prevented managers from telling the truth at the beginning of a competition to men who are obviously not possibilities for election. It has been thought kinder to let them work, dropping them as early as occasion arose, or, if this were not possible, nominating them as dummies for election. We believe that within a few days after the opening of the competition a manager should, after careful consideration and personal interviews with each man, drop all whom he knows to be unfit for the position. In doubtful cases, he should tell...
...compositions which showed most distinction of workmanship and sentiment were the songs "On a Faded Violet" by C. L. Seeger '08, "The Power of Spring" by P. G. Clapp '09, and the irresistibly clever and fascinating Scherzo by G. L. Foote '08. At the same time there was serious thought in the pieces by E. Royce '097 and the trio by R. L.

No other man's sermons were ever wrought with such thought and care. They all went through three stages, the note-book, the compendium stage, and then the finished arrangement, so that his intellectual preparation and logic made a track, as it were, for the rush of his rhetoric. Complete as was his plan and outline, he spoke with such spontaneity...
...purpose of the observance is to recall to the thought and sentiments of the members of the University the memory of a graduate who was at once a great public character and a mighty spiritual force in this place. YOURS TRULY, JAMES HARDY ROPES...
