...criticism has been forthcoming even from the Fellows themselves. That the year was of "little value to American newspapers or even to the students" is an overly cynical attitude. There were at least three tangible results. First, the year of study has given some the opportunity to learn a type of reporting often neglected or very poorly done. Thus good reporting of new scientific developments was the aim of one man's study; another dwelt on the difficult field of South American relations. Secondly, the Nieman Fellowships have enabled "small-town" editors to gain a perspective on the larger problems...
Last week against the Elis, the Cornell crew rowed the same type of race as the Navy crew did on the Charles. Under-stroking Yale consistently, the Big Red showed a strong middle race with good spacing and power, passing the Elis for about a half length at mid-race.

Coffin's idea is that the distinctive characteristics of a single human being, such as a Maine fisherman, are the qualities which lend a positive tone to poetic translations of human nature. One cannot write convincingly of a universal type of human being, for even if it existed, it would lack the compelling reality which inspires poetry. The force and enthusiasm behind a poem is one factor which determines its ability to convey an impression, and it is rare that such force is generated entirely from the imagination. By discarding vague...
