...captain of industry rather overshoots the mark. Few would agree with the assertion that "now, here in America, those who make this nation what it is, the greatest of world powers, turn their energies to commerce." This would exclude men like Roosevelt and several others, to whom posterity will doubtless grant at least a modest share in the making of present day America. The fundamental fallacy of the captain's reasoning is the assumption that the life of action is necessarily dissociated from the life of contemplation, and vice versa. R. Altrocchi's "Western Fable" is impressive. "Old Doc. Barber...
...first biography of John Harvard has been long delayed, its publication is surely well timed in the month when we are preparing to celebrate the three hundredth anniversary of his birth. It was doubtless the scarcity of biographical details that so long kept the field free for the present biographer; and, despite Mr. Shelley's careful gleaning, we have here still but a slender sheaf of facts. To make a volume of some three hundred pages it has been necessary to eke it out with much matter descriptive of times of our founder, and the places in which he lived...

That the minds of a public liable to excitement should be inflamed by the announcement of a concert, or of a debate, on a placard printed in colors other than red and black, would be an offence against order. It is doubtless unwise that there should be any person in the audience of a College entertainment who is not a friend of one of the performers. The prescribed method of advertising of course limits the audience to such persons, and is presumably salutary...
...with the exception of Briggs, will be together next year for the third season. There is small chance of any of these men losing their positions and a few good substitutes is all that is needed. Currier, Simons, McCall and Leonard have played together for two years and will doubtless continue in their same positions. Briggs has fitted in splendidly at first base. Other infield candidates are Pritchett '08, who has substituted for Leonard in several of the games this spring, Brown '10, Gardner '10 and Hall...
...Hill Folk" is well told, but shows the weakness of much verse in the saga form in that it lacks story. Mr. Wheelock's "Serenade" does not show emotion; Mr. Dickerman's translation "Light" shows sensuous color, better at the beginning than the end; the fault is doubtless in the original. Mr. Reed's "Guinevere" reflects Tennyson...
