...opposite fault - that of writing in the form of prose what would sound better in verse - is sometimes committed, though not often; there are certain ideas, or certain ways of treating subjects, which, we feel, properly belong to poetry, and which, though they would appropriately relieve a long work, appear out of place when put by themselves in the necessarily short space of a college article. This distinction between poetry and prose, whether they appear in the form of verse or not, is one universally acknowledged and easily felt, although hard to define. Bearing it in mind, it is easy...
...become accustomed to his place before a race, that he may be perfectly at home in it. If the Freshmen fail to win the Beacon Cup, they should not be depressed; nor yet, vice versa, should victory make them too much elated; but in either case they should but work harder for greater glory at Springfield.

Mr. Bartol can be dogmatic as any mighty...
...disappointment to many that Mr. Goodwin was prevented by ill-health and stress of work from delivering the poem. This part was written upon very short notice by Mr. Osborne, and in spite of the difficulties attendant on this, he succeeded in producing as entertaining an occasional poem as we remember hearing. The local allusions, as he summed up the four years' experience of seventy-three, were capital, and the audience were very enthusiastic throughout. The introduction struck us as so excellent that we take the liberty of quoting...
