...regretted, however, that the subject matter in many of the articles strays so far from Cambridge. Thus there are, dealing with a different hemisphere: a noble sonnet "Rhine," a sketch, "The Symphony," whose technique leads one to believe its author a virtuoso with his fingers rather than with his pen; and an excellent Irish story told in the author's very human style...
...come here for the first time have joined a body of men, twenty thousand strong, some living, some dead, but all making themselves equally heard. Yet in joining the College, they incidentally become members of one of its smaller groups; in fact the group, in the choice of subjects, rather than the particular class joined, is largely to determine the kind of men with whom they become most intimate. By this principle of subdivision the large college is distinguished from the small college. President Garfield once remarked that the log with Mark Hopkins on one end and himself...
...Madness of Robert Martin," by R. C. Bolling '00, is hardly one of the writer's best stories. The phrases are now and then a little too robust, sometimes too reminiscent of the interminable Kipling; and though one can understand Martin's rebellion against society, his reconciliation seems rather abrupt, rather arbitrary.

"Dolls," though anonymous, is plainly the work of some one with a trained dramatic sense and a gift for clever dialogue. One would like to see the author...
...three men could be found to fill with credit almost any position. Only in the centre is there a certain weakness. But the appearance yesterday in the play of A. R. Sargent will do something toward strengthening that part of the line.

A bit unsatisfactory, still, is the work of the tackles. Eaton plays too desultorily; and Swain, who was so strong a tackle two years ago on the 'Varsity, has not yet even...
...timely. The most amusing picture in the number is number of five the series "As Others see Us." The takeoff on Rattle at the Riverside Recreation Grounds is good, and the letter describing the drill at the "Sand Oldbonio" is cleverly patterned on the original. "An Everyday Fable" is rather more serious than ordinary Lampoon fiction. The short jokes in the number are very poor, in marked contrast to the longer articles. Many of these witticisms savor of old age, a failing which should be carefully avoided. Two more numbers of the Lampoon are yet to appear-one the Class...
