Very fitting in this hour when the name of Norman Prince and the thought of his heroic death are alive in the minds of Americans, especially of Harvard men, the suggestion has come from a member of the Class of 1893 that a memorial be erected in his honor. It will also be remembered, however, that his service and his sacrifice have been part of a valor shared by other sons of Harvard. Doubtless to Norman Prince himself it was cause for satisfaction and a source of inspiration that many others from his own University stood with him, shoulder...
...verse in the number is remarkably mature in thought and able in workmanship. Four of the poems are sonnets; of these two are a subtly matched pair by Mr. Reniers; the others by Henderson and Mr. Le Farge, treat in different moods the idea of death. Mr. Norris writes "Lines" of epigrammatic brevity and point. "From an Office Window at night" is Mr. Allinson's expression of revolt on the part of the city worker whose imagination carries him far away.

Mr. Norris has an economy of phrase and tranquility of thought truly remarkable, while Mr. Cutler's delicacy of thought and rhythms remind us of the writers of the French Renaissance. Mr. Putnam, celebrating Milton, has some truly beautiful lines toward the end of the poem, but the beginning is somewhat stilted, and the beginning of a piece is of such enormous artistic import that it over-clouds the beauty of thought which in this instance is surely present...
...Hopkins, both in his knowledge of he human and fundamental conditions of the business world today, and in his knowledge of conditions at Dartmouth, gleaned from his service in the business world, and in the realm of collegiate thought throughout the country, approximates the specialist to some extent, without cramping his abilities by a narrowing of his field of vision. He is bent on accomplishing the great and far-sighted thing. He would have men of higher education less trained for selfish and individualistic successes, than for their collective influence for good in the business community...
