...most serious reproaches to which we lay ourselves open is our treatment of visiting teams. In many cases they arrive in Boston, where they remain until they leave for the field, and after the contest, they return at once to their hotel or train. Their managers make all arrangements for their entertainment, and they rarely receive any of the little courtesies which are reflected in the resulting better feeling between the teams and the institutions which they represent. It would be unfair to many past managers to say that there have been no exceptions to this indifferent attitude...
...only excuse for the fact that the number of track candidates who reported yesterday for work held almost entirely indoors, was about one-third of the number who appeared for the first day's practice last winter. We do not believe that the track situation is in as serious a condition as these figures would indicate, and we hope that the next few days will bring the squad up to its normal size. In track more than in any other sport the apparently hopeless candidates have been given individual attention. This has been due partly to the fact that...
...assume that some competitive system is desirable, for popular election or direct appointment are open to much greater abuses than the existing practice. But the qualifications required of a manager give rise to one serious objection. No defeated candidate can feel dissatisfied if he is beaten by a man who has proved more efficient, but if he himself has been clearly in the lead in the actual competition and is defeated because he is not the sort of a man who would be popular with the players or represent the University creditably, his work seems worse than useless...
...compositions which showed most distinction of workmanship and sentiment were the songs "On a Faded Violet" by C. L. Seeger '08, "The Power of Spring" by P. G. Clapp '09, and the irresistibly clever and fascinating Scherzo by G. L. Foote '08. At the same time there was serious thought in the pieces by E. Royce '097 and the trio by R. L. Sweet '08 showed an uncommon power for sustained breadth of phrase. The group of songs showed H. L. Murphy's voice to excellent advantage. The quartets by Brahms and Osgood were well balanced and carefully shaded...
...Gringoire," the most serious of the three plays, is one of the masterpieces of the graceful poet, Theodore do Banville. It is still contained in the repertoire of the Comedies Francaise, and is played today by some of the best actors of that illustrious company. The action takes place in the time of Louis XI. At the opening of the play, the king is seated at table with Oliver-Le-Daim, his barber and favorite, when a great commotion is heard in the street, and Gringoire, the vagabond poet, is seen outside. Gringoire has incurred the enmity of Oliver...
