...divided into two classes: first, those who are restless until they have referred every experience, and every bit of knowledge, to certain first principles; and, next, those who take life more classically, not because they lack first principles, but because they are more interested in the sweep and variety, even in the exceptions and caprice, than in the rigid formulation of life. Mr. Berenson belongs to the former class, and it is wonderful that a mind so acutely intellectual as his should choose for its special province the Fine Arts--the domain, that is, where Beauty and not Knowledge...

"In the City," "Sunrise," and "Prisoners," describe certain aspects of nature, and "Love's Perfect Hour" is a happy translation from the French. The general excellence of the number is occasionally marred by inaccurate or doubtful words and expressions...
...Freshmen rowed a very heady race, although the boat did not go as smoothly as it has in practice. They were certain of the distance, and at the finish were well rowed out. The Sophomores were not in as good form as they were early in the week. They were not as well together as usual, and after the first half-mile they clipped the stroke badly. The two crews may be well compared by the strokes they rowed. The Freshmen maintained a rate of 34 all over the course, while the Sophomores were rowing...
