...current number of the Lampoon is devoted chiefly to the war and its effect upon college life. The centre page is a striking picture of the re-christened cruiser "Harvard" and is one of the best illustrations the Lampoon has printed for some time. The verses at the foot of the picture would do credit to the heart of a more ambitiously serious sheet than the Lampoon.

The slums, the padrone system and the sweating system are typical of the problems fronting us in the cities. The evils which Southern European immigration is bringing...
...road of his own. The tale is perhaps best described as a character sketch in which the main figure is shown under varying conditions. The reader's interest continually increases until the very end when the author breaks off abruptly and leaves the climax to the imagination. The effect of this style is good and places the sketch above the ordinary run of college stories...
