...Maritime League for eight years, deserves great praise. Though much handicapped by lack of practice they played a hard game at all times, and gave indications of becoming one of the best teams in years. Both teams played a very strong defensive game, which made it extremely difficult for the forwards to shoot effectively. Washburn turned aside several hard shots and with Hicks, who made the only score in the middle of the first half, excelled for Harvard...
...Royce's Symphonic Study showed high aims, an elevated style of some complexity, many episodes of compelling beauty, but as a whole it seems as if the composer had set himself a difficult problem to maintain the thread of continuity without the aid of a closer adherence to conventional form. In substance, however, this work is so interesting as to demand another hearing before attempting a more authoritative opinion. In the first movement of Mr. Clapp's quintet we feel at once the solidity and breadth of structure, although the treatment of the strings is occasionally at variance with traditional...

The management of a co-operative restaurant with the sole purpose of affording the best possible food at the lowest possible price for a large number of men is not a task to be undertaken lightly at any time. At just this time it is especially difficult, for lately there has been in progress at Memorial a policy of experiment--a policy naturally arising from continued evidences of dissatisfaction. Nor have the experiments as yet greatly relieved the dissatisfaction, for it is evident that the Association will soon suffer from desertion unless the extraordinarily high price charged...
...falling off in the representation from the New England States. The enrolment from Massachusetts is the lowest it has been in five years and there has been a general decrease from all the New England states, with slight ups and downs, in the last five years. It is difficult to draw any accurate conclusions from the figures of the states with smaller representations. Comparing similar statistics during the period from 1904 to 1908, there has been a gradual increase in California and Washington on the Coast and a corresponding increase in the Middle Western states of Iowa, Minnesota, and Indiana...
...Wilfrid North's coaching. It was evident not only in the principals but in the many crowds. On the whole the acting, individual and concerted, was well above the standard of amateurs. This is all the more a matter for remark when one realizes that no more difficult task could imaginably have been set them than an interpretation of "The Promised Land." In comparison Shakspere would have been easy...
