...reports which have come from New Haven during the week past, it is very evident that Harvard will have to bestir herself in order to maintain the supremacy in debating next year. Yale men may or may not care much about debating. Probably the feeling there does not differ greatly from what it is here.

The comparison enables us to feel more keenly the difference between real heartwood and veneer, between a poem made out of a true life, and a false life attempted to be made into a poem. I shall turn back today to a poem as sincere as that of Dante-in some senses as national as his, but which fails...
