...centennial of the class of 1857, so charming that one can only regret that it is so short, and a selection from the recently published "Ode to Harvard" by Witter Bynner '02. Many have felt that this ode marks a new epoch in Harvard literature; at all events its vigor and vividness and charm make it a poem that no Harvard man--and this is especially true of undergraduates today--can afford to pass...

The duct sung by Gontran and Azara in the second act, and the definance-song of Malek, are two of the most conspicuous portions of the masterly work...
