...excellent. H. B. Eddy contributes an ambitious poem, "The Kingdom," which is more successful than his last attempt. "The Jealousy of Carlos" by A. S. Pier is, like the author's previous articles, short and very well done. D. H. Morris gives us a very happy little story in "Truth is Stranger Than Fiction." The College Kodaks are much below the standard. "Bloody Monday Night" by H. B. Eddy has some feeling. "The Doctrine of Selfishness" by H. H. Chamberlin is something unique. "Joe Johnson's Career at Harvard" by H. B. Eddy is better than the author's other...

To test the truth of this assertion is now the purpose of the Theatre of Art and Letters. It has made a fair beginning in New York and now with its most representative play, it is to try to show by performances in different cities that the public is sufficiently intelligent to enjoy a "literary...
...activity. And yet his intellectual fertility, which would have made the reputation of another man, is not that for which we hold him dear. His rare personality, his influence for untold good over two generations of men, this is the heritage he has left us. His life revealed the truth that the pure in heart see God. Behind the magnificent intellect, was the pure, gentle, tranquil heart which guided and utilized the intellect.
