Willcox '17 seem to be from the viewpoint, at least, of impressionistic criticism--the three most deserving poems. "Off to the War" has a splendid swing and military air.

...worked hard for twenty years to send my son to Harvard feeling that where I had nothing in the line of education, my children should have the highest, no matter what tremendous sacrifices I would have to make. After many years he is at last in Harvard and as splendid a young man with sterling qualities that ought to stand for large things in the world. What was my surprise when at mid-years they advised him to drop out. Now please listen patiently. Of course we were heartbroken; so one morning I went over and talked with three...
