Next most notable are the two contributions of Mr. C. P. Aiken. Both the poem and the prose tale show considerable originality in conception and skill in the minor points of technique; neither quite carries conviction. The story leaves one a little in doubt as to whether it is an allegory or a hold-up; and the theme of the poem is such that at best it could give opportunity for little more than ingenious fancy. Here, as in much of his writing, Mr. Aiken suffers from a tendency to get too remote from actuality...

Both the examiners and the headmasters of preparatory schools are of this opinion. Moreover, all the reports received by the investigating committee show that a change is wise.

The only redeeming feature of the forwards' work was their following back to help the defence; this they did better than in any of the previous games, and accomplished much toward preventing Columbia's scoring. The team has not yet gained the snap and aggressiveness necessary to win the later games of the league series. Many times yesterday the play lagged and at no time...
Those students who advocate classical education deplore the present lack of interest in the classics. They find as the chief reason for this neglect the scientific and materialistic tendencies of the age, manifested in the colleges in the popularity of so-called practical courses. No doubt this accounts in large part for the conditions, but it is also worth while to ask whether Interest in the classes might not be stimulated by different methods of teaching. Many a general student would be glad to continue his Greek and Latin in College if he had assurance that they would be presented...
