Excerpt from Bowdoin Orient, Vol. 37: April 19, 1907 A story of the woods, and one of the sea; an appreciation of Wordsworth as a teacher, and one of Thackeray as a philosopher; a posy of medieval lyrics, and the translations of them into modern English; a poem of love, and one of imaginative moral suggestion; these, with the Gray Goose Tracks, and the comments of the Postman, make up the con tents of the March Quill. A Woods Tragedy is the story of a stubborn fight, in the waters of Caribou Lake, between a cow moose and a hungry bear. It is put into the mouth of an old Penobscot trapper, and is told in a lively, picturesque style that is inter esting and effective. The sympathy of. The reader is sure to be with the moose defending her young calf, and so it is worth while to record that the result of the fight was a bear skin rug in a Philadelphia home. The Message of Wordsworth has been heard, at least in substance, in Memorial Hall, Where it was awarded the sixty-eight Prize. It is a just and thoughtful statement of the teaching of Wordsworth 1n regard to the con duct of life, and. Particularly in its application to the present conditions of American life. The subject is more important than popular, and the treatment of it in this brief essay is sympathetic and forcible.
