...complete canvas, we have direct evidence that a number of men in training have been kept awake several hours at a time by pointless cheering and singing. It would seem, therefore, that putting the whole matter on the basis of loyalty to the athletes who represent us, some general sentiment should be started to stop these unreasonable disturbances which occur with startling frequency. If a general sentiment is not effective there are other methods of suppression, less gentle, but perfectly justifiable...
...dropped in press and in conversation. The beautiful tribute to Professor James in the second gives expression to the love and respect held for him by all his former students. The paragraph in "public lectures given in the University" is interesting as snowing our quickness in detecting cheap sentiment, affectation, and our inability to divorce the man, as we see him superficially and are impressed, from the cause which we know even less.

The musical selections through which peep occasionaly strains of well known tunes, are, however, delightfully refreshing, and well adapted to the general trend of the plot--in which are combined the ingredients of youth, life, variety, humor and sentiment. Structurally the play is somewhat over convential. Although the scenes are full of spirit and often dramatic force, many of the incidents are exasperating if not improbable. The plot is by no means confusing, yet sufficiently interwoven to possess numerous comic incidents punctuated by songs and dances. A commonplace story...
