...glad to learn that another crew race has been arranged with Cornell. Unfounded newspaper comment had given an impression, even in the minds of those who should have known better, that these respected rivals were to be omitted from our rowing schedule this year. Although these reports were promptly denied, it is gratifying to learn that the race is now a certainly, and that we are to have an opportunity of repaying the hospitality that was shown our athletes and musicians in Ithaca last year...

Most of us would find it hard to describe the odor either of a swarm of bees or of a maiden-hair fern. In "The, Golden Calf" Mr. Pulsifer expounds a false idea. Many men are neither the slaves nor the masters of money--professors, for example. F. Biddle's quatrain is expressed with neatness and restraint, and "The Wind" by Mr. C. P. Aiken is the most imaginative thing...
