...Kaltenborn '09, as Nipphard, a sharp-dealing merchant, spoke excellent German, and his acting with voice, gesture and facial expression, was at once delicate and forcible. His scene with Bastelmeier in the second act, and his subsequent soliloquy are the best acted bits in the play. P. N. Crusius '09 as Bastelmeier, a travelling salesman, did a distinct and clever bit of characterization; and he as well as von Kaltenborn was quick at taking up his cues. C. A. Neymann '09 as Dicke, the other travelling salesman, did his part well, and P. M. Piel '10 with his broad...
...current number of the Graduates Magazine comes to us bristling with football which alone would suffice to make it timely, for the athletic confusion is just now at its height. The passage on football from the President's report appears, indeed, to have come out a bit ahead of time. The President's comments have been reprinted in the CRIMSON. They tell pretty much the old story, and popular feeling just now is clearly the other way; but the President addresses himself primarily, not to undergraduates, or to the public, but to the college authorities of the country; and with...
From football as it is, A. M. Beale '97 brings us to football as it might be.

His plan aims to combine the merits of the English and American games; to most persons familiar with football as it is now played here many of his reforms are likely to seem a bit chimerical...
...faulty rhymes ("moan" and "gone," "saw" and "door") are disturbing. The overlapping phrases in the first line of each stanza, on the other hand, and the insistent refrain, "O thalassa, thalassa," are decidedly effective, and only fail to be completely successful, perhaps, from the fact that they seem a bit too consciously employed. These, however, are minor faults in a poem which, as a successful attempt to treat a great theme worthily, is decidedly unusual in undergraduate verse...
...fails to convince some of us, it is not because the article is not pleasantly written. Of the two pieces of verse, "Winter Dreams" is poetical in conception, but the imagery seems to lack originality, and the lines drag. "River Wind," on the other hand, is really an excellent bit of verse. The idea is extremely poetical, the language, although very simple, is also poetical, while the swing of the lines carries the reader along. The theme of the poem reminds one instantly of Hovey, with whose lyrics of a similar kind "River Wind" compares not unfavorably...
