...poetry of the current issue is of more or less the respectable type; conventional and imitative, and greatly overshadowed by the prose contributions. W. A. Norris '18, however, has written a sonnet which would escape the brunt of the foregoing remark. "In Dawn" contains some very lovely lines. The vers libre of B. P. Clark '16 succeeds tolerably well until the last line, "And one star drifting in the east," for that one star in the east has had to do so much labor in the interest of the Muses, that the most of us feel it is time...
Your leading editorial of Friday last hardly does justice either to your own views, or to those of the member of the regimental committee whose chance remark was there started on a public career.

The latter favors enlistment in the militia, with the University courses and Plattsburg as supplementary work. Mr. Blake evidently considers the college man a distinct specie, for he says, "The College man will meet...
...Cornell men stood in their places and sang their college hymn. Then they hurried across the field, and, grouping before the Harvard section, cheered for Harvard." While of course Cornell's display of the victor's courtesy was in order and is appreciated, the fallacy in the Tribune's remark as regards the restraint shown in celebrating deserves notice...
