...Tinckom-Fernandez has completely spoiled an otherwise unobjectionable transcript of the vivid and irrational impressions of port after long days at sea, by an awkward exit in a temporizing last paragraph. As a result, the whole article has the air of not knowing what to do with its hands. Mr. MacVeagh's "The Young God's Holiday" is a true and graceful allegory, well told, phrased and staged...
...November is a distinctly creditable number. In the opening article on "Cross-Country Running at Harvard," M. S. Crosby points out the advantages of this democratic sport and deplores the fact that in the past comparatively few men have participated in it.

G. Osborne '07, who was away from College last year on account of illness, has the build for a good tackle, and H. M. Gilmore '08, who played on the second team last year, has the necessary weight and strength. C. C. Pell '08, H. Sibley '07, H. C. Blanchard '09, and W. R.
