...sympathetic treatment of low life, and, in seeking to accomplish this, he makes frequent use of cheaply sentimental phrases. "A Junior Partner," by C. R. Saunders '01, is a character study in which a mood is described rather than suggested. "The Revelation," by W. Stevens sC., is a remarkable bit of work in which the characterization or plot, if it contains either, can be revealed only by prolonged study. "One Shall be Taken, The Other Left," by B. F. Bassett '97, is of the Fireside Companion order...
...weakness. But the appearance yesterday in the play of A. R. Sargent will do something toward strengthening that part of the line. As Kendall is now playing rather better at right half than at left, there is little to choose between the three backs--Kendall, Warren and Parker. A bit unsatisfactory, still, is the work of the tackles. Eaton plays too desultorily; and Swain, who was so strong a tackle two years ago on the 'Varsity, has not yet even approached the excellence of which he is capable. Though apt to become over-anxious and get off-side, J. Lawrence...

...drawings, which fill more space than usual, are well executed, but with the exception of two small ones, are not effective. The conception of the centre page is a bit worn, and the drawing of "Laocoon; Restored by an Artist of the Realistic School," seems mildly reminiscent. "O Tempora! O Mores!" in illustration of the old Tree exercises and what the artist expects of the Statue exercises, is, on the other hand, both cleverly conceived and well drawn, and "Nova Botanica Harvardiensis" has originality as a merit...
...very natural that a subscription such as the one to raise money for cups for the '97 'Varsity nine, should be slow in getting started. When so small a sum is asked from each man, and when there are so many to give, fellows are apt to be a bit thoughtless and not go out of their way to drop a quarter in the box. As we do not wish to leave the boxes out more than a week, we must request the college public to get a gait...
