...believe that Schofield Thayer's "Amica" exists in his imagination, much less in his experience; she is only a creature of his vocabulary. J. D. Adams's "The Greater Sunlight" conveys to me neither image nor idea nor emotion. The use of the word "lambent" should be forbidden to Monthly poets for the space of one year. When they apply it to worlds, it is too much. The two stanzas by the new president of the Monthly seem to be worth all the rest of the verse in the number. They are admirable if not flawless in technique, and possess...
...great deal worse to break physical training than it is to break mental training. This is strange, especially when we realize that in material harm to the team (which today is acknowledged to be nearer the undergraduate heart than any other organization) probation far exceeds an occasional forbidden cigar or theatre party. It is far worse to Iose an excellent athlete for a whole season than to let an equally brilliant man break training once or twice a year.

Young Oxonians, in general, lead a serene...
...friends, Bergamin and Pasquinot, wishing to end their days together, tell their respective children, Percinet and Sylvette, that they are mortal enemies, in the hope that if the young people are forbidden to meet, they will seek to do so, and thereby fall in love. But as the children are of a romantic turn of mind, the stratagem succeeds too well, and they become so haughty and arrogant to one another that their fathers are compelled to tell them the truth. Then they separate, and Percinet sets out into the world to seek adventure. Bergamin and Pasquinot, thrown into...
