...Paulding describes an affair of the heart in very different vein. He, too, is subtle and sensitive, bat not a bit serious, and he makes us feel that his irresponsible hero is an actual human, attractive, normal Harvard undergraduate, a trivial person, no doubt, but far more appealing than the disembodied soul who suffers through the story by Mr. Wright. Mr. Paulding has not made an important contribution to American fiction, but he has written easily the best thing in the Monthly, which leads one to hope that he will keep on writing college stories with the same delicate...
...illustration, let us take the Yale-Princeton game. One of the teams had worked the ball down to its opponents' five-yard line with a sure chance of a touchdown, when one of the players held in the line. The ball went back fifteen yards and the chance to score was gone. Did this funny business pay whereby one member's rank foolishness spoiled the chance of a much-desired victory...

The New York Times says that his last public message...
...reached, we do not believe that things have changed. The money line of distinction is no longer of great importance. Good fellowship is placed higher than a substantial check-book and an expensive motor car. Wealth still makes the path to popularity easier in certain circles, yet most of us at Harvard as well as most of us in America try to estimate men by their character rather than by their pocketbooks. We believe that "a man's a man for a' that...
