...folk tales, which the writer is contributing to the Advocate. The scene of the story is Rosselea, and the characters are a Catholic priest and a family of peasants. There is less plot and characterization in "Ruth," than in either of the two previous tales; but the story is clear, vigorous and wholesome. Two lovers quarrel and separate, but are again joined at a crisis in the life of the heroine. Simple and straightforward, "Ruth" is the type of story that the undergraduate reader thoroughly enjoys. Very different from "Ruth," is J. P. Sanborn's frail story, "Conclusions." Like Cyrano...
...regretted that he was not assigned to a more important part. Charlot Granger, son of the pedant, was well-played by R. Goelet '02. The most natural and consistent actor was A. S.

The Class Day Committee must for the sake of economy have full charge of finances, both in contracting for services and supplies, and in paying the bills. Much of the expense for the Senior Spread consists of items covered by general contracts made by the Class Day Committee under a system which is the growth...
...determining argumentative ability, the Judges should take into consideration thorough knowledge of the subject, logical sequence, skill in selecting and presenting evidence, and power in rebuttal; and that in considering the form of the speakers as distinguished from their arguments they should regard bearing, quality of voice, correct pronunciation, clear enunciation, ease and appropriateness of gesture, and directness, variety, and emphasis in delivery. Without attempting to assign exact valuation to these various elements, the Association is agreed that as between the two, matter is more important than form; and that should one team excel in matter, and the other...
