...tried to represent such difficult themes as the shield of Achilles. His skill was, however, shown in the way in which he overcame the inherent clumsiness of the sea monster which usually accompanied Thetis. In the later vases the artist tried to give the effect of a foreground and background by the use of foreshortening; but, owing to the fact that he was confined to a single color, the attempt was not successful. The capture of Troy, as described by the non-Homeric epics, was a favorite subject, and was treated in a great variety of ways by a long...
...class of ninety. The CRIMSON has entered upon its thirteenth volume, and yet there are but two representatives of that class on the board. There is plenty of ability hidden away some where in the class, and it is either laziness or false modesty that keeps it in the background. In a year from now the management of the paper must fall upon the shoulders of the present sophomore class, and two men are insufficient to sustain the weight.

The junior picture would have a sky-rocketty effect, due to the introduction of the Princeton cheer, while that of '89 would have a lurid background and a leaden finish. McPherson established a good record for himself in the box, but Gallivan's three-bagger in the eighth knocked off a finger-nail and forced him to withdraw. Eighty-nine put in Downer in his place, after some little discussion, and the '88 men nearly knocked the ball to pieces. That eighth...
