...displays happy gifts of insight, humor, and expression. His Cuban in Wisconsin, who "doan' work, but just goes by," is a new type of that Beloved Vagabond with whom our sophisticated generation has developed such an odd, and yet not wholly surprising sympathy. Mr. Stoddard's "Mine Own Familiar Friend" is in a kindly vein, though it might more appropriately be entitled, "Mine Own Chance Acquaintance." The quiet humor of Mr. Porter's paper, "On Music," will be appreciated by men who prefer their own efforts in art to those of others...
...will gave a short address at 5 o'clock on the life and work of Bishop Brooks in relation to Harvard University. The University quartet will sing the following selections: "Integer Vitae," Fleming; Brahm's "Lullaby", and the "Dominum fac," of Gounod.

They know that a majority of the players are facing Yale for the last time, and that all their skill and energy will be used...
...spite of all efforts to secure new songs, the mass meeting last evening proved that the familiar tunes are in no danger of being replaced. It is now scarcely ten days before the Yale game, and there is hardly time to learn songs which have little swing, and which have words unsuited to the music. The real test of a football song lies in the attitude of the men who sing it, and when everyone starts whistling a well-known tune as soon as a new song has been tried, the latter may well be considered condemned.
