...Montespan", inspired by the famous "Poison Affair", M. Rolland does not pretend to follow exactly the events of history. His object is to create the atmosphere of the decadent court, to develop the characters logically from what is known of them without necessarily adhering to the minor details of fact. Madame de Montespan, for example, is made to take poison and die, in his play; in reality, she survived this episode by twenty-seven years. But no one can read the play and not be convinced that her suicide was the logical, certainly the most artistic ending for her glittering...

If to add this would be to break the camel's back, then it would be far better to take off some other part of the load.

Again this fall, with very few of last year's players and with very little practice in the McGill game, owing to the preparation for the Graduate match, we won a victory over the Canadians. Yale may object on the score that Harvard has already become well acquainted with the game. Very true, but Yale can practice and learn it during the fall. It is a game very easy and simple to learn, requiring, at the utmost, two weeks' practice for a club to be able to play...
