...committees there is no more important election in a College year than that of the Union officers. The men, in whose hands the future welfare of the "house bearing no name forever except that of our University" is to be placed, must be chosen on no grounds of friendship or personal prejudice, but for their recognized ability and devotion to Harvard's best interests. If the power and usefulness of the Union is to be kept up to the standard set by the officers of recent years, the voters today must choose as their best judgment dictates. We offer...
...upon the election, we suggest that the manager submit to the Athletic Committee the names of three nominees, together with the result of a canvass of the men entitled to vote. These voters should in each case state the reason for their choice, whether it he based upon personal friendship or upon actual or second hand knowledge of the candidate's ability. With these data the Athletic Committee would be able to pass intelligently upon the recommendations of the manager.

...commonplace. "Phrases from Novels" (p. 200), the dernier cri of the Freshman's welcome home (p. 206), the limerick about the Freshman's quandary at Boston dances (p. 208), the bit about Harvard irreligion (p. 209), make one laugh from natural impulse, and not from college spirit, or friendship with their editors.

Resisting the allurement of subjects which demand much experience and mature philosophy, Mr. D. M. Cheney wisely chooses to deal with incidents and emotions which, though not commonplace are well within his power. In "The Wizard of the Garden," he has a simple plot,--merely the growth of friendship between a lonely old man and an imaginative boy. Perhaps he has not always made the latter's talk sufficiently childlike, but possibly he was afraid thus to disturb the charming atmosphere of romanticism in which his characters dwell. His story has truth to human nature and beauty of expression...
...twenty, after his mother's third marriage, he went to Emmanuel College, Cambridge. We know much of his life there, his teachers, the events of which he was a spectator, and above all, his friends, chief among whom was John Milton, one year his junior. There was a close friendship between the two young men during the five years of John Harvard's residence in Cambridge. At 28, he received the degree of A.M.: Of his character we know almost nothing, except that he chose good friends, and had a literary bent. In 1636 he married Saddler's sister...
