...Phelps has another memorial poem entitled, Whittier (Dying.)" The rest of the number is occupied - among other things, by "Some Breton Folk-Songs," Sociology in the Higher Education of Women," and the "Two Programmes of 1892" - which is a review of the political platforms during the present campaign. The fiction of the number includes "Mr. Jolley Allen," Margaret Deland's "Story of a Child," Crawford's "Don Orsino," and the "Withrow Water Right...
...fiction of the number as a whole is best characterized, to quote Professor Wendell, as 'well-meaning and thoroughly amiable rot.' Under this classification, the first of the 'Two Sketches' is preeminent. The second is not bad, until one comes to the last paragraph. Up to this point there is a change of its being good but the effect is entirely thrown away out of the hasty and unartistic ending.

...Umpire Question," deserves especial notice, for its thoroughly sane and sportsmanlike attitude. The prophecy indulged in the "Topic of the Day" proved to be exceedingly, well judged. Mr. Stearn's article on "The Origin of the Advocate" is an extremely interesting bit of college journalistic history. Of the fiction "The Brothers-in-Law" is the strongest as well as the most elaborately worked-up, and "Yesterday and Today," though it does not make itself entirely clear, comes easily second. "A Glass of Absinthe" is rather too artificial in its style to have force enough to carry its incident. "A Clover...
