...hated enemies. It is a touching story of that devotion to a great chief so common among old soldiers. Even in his leader's deepest misfortune the veteran remains faithful. Despite a somewhat sudden transition in the death scene the story is realistic and fires the reader with a thrill of martial enthusiasm...
...feeling of sympathy for his fellow man, although in bondage, has at last induced the faculty to put into execution the long-dreamt of idea of laying board-walks throughout the college yard. Possibly this sympathetic thrill can be accounted for by accidents which may have befallen members of the faculty similar to the one which happened to a certain editor of the CRIMSON when, one dark and rainy night not long ago, he chanced to stumble into a fair-sized pond three feet deep in the very midst of the path.

"Sorrow and Stillness," by Mr. Sanborn, distinctly lacks melody, and contains several unmusical halting lines. The feeling is strong and the expression good. "A Second Empedocles," by Mr. Sanford, is, to say the least, a strange effort. It is incongruous and decidedly lacks force. The Latin quotations mar the form and weaken the passion aimed at by the writer. One does not quote a Latin translation of Homer in the death...
