...pages from time to time critical articles of astonishing maturity and insight, more than once bearing a promise that has since been fulfilled. Of the three articles of this nature in the present issue that of Mr. C. V. Wright belongs to the best tradition. His review of Mr. Wheelock's recent volume is courageous and discriminating, and remarkably well written. It makes Mr. J. C. Macdonough's article on Emerson, itself a creditable piece of work, seem commonplace. But it hardly needs a foil to set off the astounding performance on Mr. Mackaye's "Uriel" which closes the number...

He mentioned the debt which the community owes to President Taft for sending the ambassador to Boston. There is no reason for any clash between the countries and he expressed his intention to further the friendship as far as was right and proper, concluding by extending the best wishes of the Commonwealth...
...Wheelock rose and introduced the last speaker as follows: "Now a toast to one whom we all love and respect, and one whose name has become a household name the world over.
