Lampy's annual Yale game number is now on sale. The cover, a very clever bit of drawing by N. Choate '22, is the feature of the issue although the centerpiece, entitled "Ye Serving of Ye Pup," is very skilfully executed by the same artist. It portrays the members of the University football team grouped around a table waiting for Captain Horween to carve the roasted Bulldog. A page of sketches by D. Merwin '21, called, "If Harvard were run by Yale," is well done...

It has been placed on a pedestal in the corridor leading to the general reading room...
...Fogg Art Museum has recently acquired a monumental painting of Saint Jerome, by the Spanish master Ribera The picture represents the artist's best work. Although realistically rendered, it does not show the over-emphasis on disagreeable details, apparent in many of Ribera's works, nor his exaggerated "tenebroso" manner, in which the greater part of the canvas is painted in deep shadow, and certain parts in very high light against the shadow. The noble and dignified figure of the saint is well characterized and splendidly handled. Particularly fine is the rendering of flesh. The picture recalls the Apostles...
