Improve the river-front! Never, since some wild Idealist suggested making Harvard Square a business centre, has such a radical suggestion been heard, Conceal that triumph of architecture, the boiler-factory, in a spinney of Japanese hemlocks! Cover those pebbly, tin-canned shores, where laps the limpid Charles, with clumps of alligator pear trees and groo-groo palms! Yet the scheme has its advantages. The exiled Freshman, in his far-off lonely habitation, may feel that he has at least sympathy, if he can watch from his window the weeping willows drooping over the water. The lone oarsman can compromise...
...repeatedly changed and are still unsettled, although it seems likely that they will be permanently settled by the beginning of next week. All the crews have been greatly handicapped by the fact that the "John Harvard" has been away for over two weeks in order to have a new boiler put in, which made it impossible for Coaches Brown and Stevenson to coach their crews for long distances, as the "Veritas" was used by Coach Wray...

...Rideout's books have lately appeared in such quick succession that with each new one we are inclined to say. "This must be a pot-boiler," and then we take it up and to our surprise find again fresh, well-balanced work. "Admiral's Light" is no exception. It is a breath, all to short, of down-east air, tingling with the strong, salt flavor of sea-girt downs and long, pebbly beaches; a tantalizing glimpse of gray ocean and pine-clad islands. The story, as a mere story, amounts to little, but why should it? The book does...
