...plan was not followed in the erection of our buildings, and why distorted ideas of architectural beauty should have been perpetuated in some of our least attractive structures. An intense absorption in the engrossing problems of education on the part of the governing authorities must be responsible for the uneven development of the University grounds. Why the power plant was allowed to drop down in the midst of the general scheme, and why Gore Hall was countenanced, are questions that we cannot answer, but are object lessons from which we may well benefit in the future...
...more important roles, that of Dickon, in the hands of T. M. Spelman '13, came nearest to complete success, especially in the middle acts. Savery '11, as the Scarecrow, was uneven, but did so well in spots that one may expect a much higher degree of effectiveness in later performances. E. a. C. Layman's face was not meant by nature for that of a Puritan justice; and, in spite of occasional good passages, his mirthful geniality of expression persisted in belying the character he had assumed. Miss Gragg rendered the varying and not entirely convincing moods of the heroine...

Both the Senior and Junior crews have shown their ability to start at 40 strokes to the minute.

The crew was also inclined to shorten, and the blade work of some of the men was very erratic. The second crew rowed the last half-mile in splendid form...
...lukewarm editorial, a half-baked leading article, three uneven experiments in verse, and four ingenious, trivial stories--the answer, we trust is not too obviously: Advocate. And yet some such formula as this, it seems, would frequently apply. The current issue, at any rate, is not above mediocrity. Not that the contributors always lack ideas; in two cases at least subjects of importance are broached, on which undergraduate opinion just now is desirable. The real trouble seems to be that the work is not carefully thought to or logically arranged, and that the product of an idle moment as allowed...
