...preferring to read sentiment and pathos into Mr. Hawkins's selections, rather than to laugh at the delicate and delightful wit which makes them so charming. Even two selections from the "Dolly Dialogues" did not quicken the audience entirely. This was the more strange considering that Mr. Hawkins read well and that all but one of his selections were humorous. They were as follows: 1. The Philosopher in the Apple Orchard; 2. From the Prisoner of Zenda, "If Love were All." 3. From the Heart of Princess Osra, "The Wager of the Marquis de Merosailles." 4. From the Dolly Dialogues...
...play with plenty of spirit. Twice, Reid punted over Warren's head; and before the 'Varsity had wakened up they were forced to punt to Reid who made a fair-catch on the 30-yard line.

Carleton drove beautifully throughout and if he had been stronger in his smashing, the result might have been different. Ward volleyed particularly well and his lobs were all well back in the court, which drove Carleton from...

...Lampoon which will be put on sale this evening contains an entertaining aggregation of Freshman jokes and even one thrust at the swaggering Sophomore with his new pipe. The centre page well illustrates a real phase of Freshman life and some of the other sketches are creditable. Perhaps the most successful attempt is a take-off on the poetry of Kipling and his admirers. Several stray hits are scattered throughout the number and a wandering member of the University is welcomed back and his exploits rehearsed in a manner truly dazzling and wonderful, but scarcely appreciable by the college...
