...Union this evening at 8 o'clock. The lecture, which will be illustrated by stereopticon views, will be open only to members of the Union. Mr. Baldwin will explain his new plan for reaching the North Pole by starting from the Behring Sea and drifting with the current across the open water around the Pole into the Greenland...
...interesting article and an editorial in the current issue of the Harvard Illustrated Magazine call our attention to the Trophy Room in the Union. It seems that the committee in charge is neglecting its duty. The Trophy Room, which is so rich in interesting relics of Harvard's early victories, contains hardly anything won in late years, though we have repeatedly beaten all our rivals in baseball, and have many Dartmouth, Brown and Carlisle footballs.

Apart from the local color cast upon it by the shadow of coming events, the number strikes us as no more or less than most Lampoons. Some of the jokes and poems are funny and cleverly done...
...material in the current number of the Monthly divides itself pretty sharply into two classes, one normal, the other artificial. In the first class the two editorials dealing with the late Professor Norton and the resignation of President Eliot merit decided praise. They express in clear and judicious English the appreciation and gratitude that Harvard has for these two men--one the wise and brilliant guide to the beauty of the past, the other the national leader in the advance towards intellectual freedom. In the "normal" class also belongs Mr. Grandgent's story, "The 'Medomac'." This is a thoroughly healthy...
