...justifiable. Mr. Sempers and Mr. Wister contribute very readable articles. Of the two, Mr. Sempers' will appeal to the more purely literary element of the college, while Mr. Wister, by his rather colloquial style and less abstruse subject, will have more readers, though perhaps less appreciative ones. Mr. Bruce strikes a new note and gives us a study of low life, which is not very satisfactory. It lacks smoothness and force, and is a trifle coarse. The story, as told, is not a thing complete in it self; it is rather a glimpse of what goes on around...
...second half opened with a dribble to Ames, who gains ten yards. Price and Ames try to advance the ball but slip and gain no ground. R. Hodge gains ten yards and Ames gains ten more, but Beecher gets through and drops on the ball, kicks, and Bruce tries for a free catch, Wallace interferes with him and gets the ball and referee refuses to give catch. The ball is now at Princeton's twenty yard line. Watkinson tries for goal but fails. Savage drops on ball and has down but the crowd rush into the field and Wallace takes...
...Mood of an Autumn Day," by Mr. Berenson, is crude. It seems to prove that the writer's strength lies in prose. The first three lines are harsh, and "need the file." The thought, again, is obscure, and the lines often labor. "The Last of the Adventures," by Mr. Bruce, is not a powerful effort. It is direct, admirably written and picturesque, but it is disconnected. There is lacking something of that "swing" so peculiar to the writer's better work. A translation of the second epode of Horace, by Mr. Isham, which received a Sargent prize, is in many...
...real thought is among us, and that such thought can be clearly stated. But Mr. Santayana's sonnet, again, is not equal to his usual work. Many of the lines are strong, but the strength is hardly carried to the end. "A Study in Catullus," by Mr. H. G. Bruce, is probably, from an artistic point of view, the best piece of student literary work which has been published at Harvard for years. While there is evident a tendency to pedantic allusion and a fondness for a Macaulay-like form of statement, the work on the whole is firm...
...Baldwin has a very sympathetic sketch of southern life, - an old negro's story of the death of a son in battle. The piece has a touch of truth and feeling rare in our college papers. The only other prose article, which is by Mr. H. G. Bruce, is entitled The Confessions of Donald Grant. Mr. Bruce has given us a very strong and subtle study of some of the phenomena of the passion which men usually call love...
