...poetry excells. Hillyer's "Retrospect" indubitably sings,--though in a well-worn tone; Dos Passos admirably conveys the spirit of the prairies; and Nelson's "Madam" strikes an original vital poetic note. His readers, however, should not turn the page. The remaining verse is more conventional. Hillyer's first sonnet too clearly recalls Drayton; his second, Donne: they constitute studies rather than self-expression. The anonymous run on sonnet appears at line fourteen to have missed connections. Howe's sapphics, on the other hand, are metrical and in phrasing delightful though artificial...
...vital to the success of the white "H", of waving handkerchiefs on the background of red that every man provide himself with a handkerchief of the correct color for tomorrow's game at Princeton. The tickets have been stamped stating the color of the handkerchief to go with each seat and for further assurance that every man has the properly colored handkerchief, the accompanying diagram is printed...

Yale had apparently permitted some university players to play among professionals or semi-professionals, and to play summer ball at Quogue...
...hasten the process so thoughtfully provided by Providence. Hence the daily advent of the goody and her dust-provoking broom is a constant trial. He leaves each morning for his nine o'clock with the tragic assurance that he will return to find a smooth, even coat of the vital principle spread over his table-top, his "English Composition," and his haberdashery. The suggestion that for that venerable engine of superficial sanitation,--the broom, the electric vacuum cleaner might be substituted, will doubtless be met with the objection that the change would be financially impractical. The answer is that even...
