...Calvert Smith's "The Theme of the Christmas Story," is ingenious in idea but clumsy in execution. Mr. Smith has never done anything quite so good as his story of the Missing Link. That conception is much too fertile to be exhausted in one episode. It affords a rich opportunity for satirizing the speculations of scientists; and what man of letters does not love to bait a scientist, especially when the latter blunders into the realm of imagination? Let therefore the Missing Link's dinosaur sneeze again, and project his master into new adventures...
...Rhoads, first base; Gill, second base; Crew and Laird, outfielders. Wood and Copeland were the mainstay of the pitching staff last season, but their work was inconsistent. Of the two, Copeland is more dependable, while Wood is more effective spasmodically. From last year's freshman nine Lamberton, Deyo, and Link are expected to show up well, especially the two first-named. Behind the bat Kelleher of the undefeated 1916 team is expected to be a close second to Wall for the catching position...
Interest in debating here is feeble in proportion to the attention it merits. A sad but evident fact! Consequently its value as a link between graduate and undergraduate life is doubtful. Yet if it can exist only through admitting graduates--which is rather incredible--by all means keep it as it is. Better debating with graduates included than no debating. Whatever the final settlement, however, the facts remain that intercollegiate competition of teams under widely different eligibility rules is bound to be unsatisfactory to all parties concerned, and that there exist at present inconsistencies between the triumvirate debaters...
...wisest and foresighted. A man must know the end for which he strives, must realize that a life cannot have a complete object with in itself but is bound up in what is best known as the infinite purpose of life. The individual is the single link, the most important part of this endless chain of causation and effect...
...stories only Mr. Smith's preposterous "Page from the Life of the Missing Link" seems really to do its work. It is the kind of thing that a man writes as a "part," perhaps; but it is thoroughly funny and sincere. Of the other stories "There Was One," though not as bad as its title, is a study in anti-climax which hardly entertains us enough as we go along to make us forgive the hoax. "Chapters from a Summer Romance" is conventional in detail and feeble in situation: in the descriptive parts "scarcely a sound broke the quiet," although...
