...poetry of this number of the Monthly is of an unusually high standard. "Thornrose" by N. Stephenson is a suggestive poem with vigor and motion. "An Egyptian Fancy" by B. Carman is graceful and pretty. It has far more poetic spirit than most college verses...
Through his many writings, Professor Bowen extended his influence beyond his class room, and brought additional credit to himself and the university. His literary style, shaped by early and long continued practice, attained a remarkable vigor of direct and effective exposition. The variety of the topics which he treated-logic, ethics, metaphysics, the history of Philosophy, the history of the United States, political economy, theology, The Bible, Latin, poetry, mathematics-attests his belief in the unity of knowledge and in the value of all its parts for personal culture. He was a humanist, not a specialist. The nature...

In this connection also he touches lightly the position and importance which intercollegiate games should have...

Although since 1881 numerous Greek tragedies as well as the Birds of Aristophanes have been represented at English universities, nothing has been done at Harvard. We hope, however, that the time has come when the Greek department will give another proof of its vigor. We understand that Professor J. W. White is in favor of the undertaking of another play, though perhaps not on such a grand scale as before. His idea is rather to have two short plays, a Latin comedy followed by one of Aristophanes. Yet it certainly seems as if a representation...
