...Usurper of the Range," by W. Jones '00, is without doubt the best piece of fiction in the number. Its subject is fresh and unhackneyed, and treated with a firmness and sureness of touch which shows the writer's perfect knowledge of the western life and incidents he depicts...
...short stories in the number are too ambitious in going beyond the real field of undergraduate fiction, which is undergraduate fiction, which is undergraduate life. The first story in the present number, "Dalton's Awakening," deals with emotions and situations utterly beyond the scope of the author. No amount of "realistic" phrasing can cover the gaping breaks in the plot. The greatest philosophers and moralists have wrangled over the problem upon which this story is based, and the solution given here besides being inadequate, is morbid. The effect left by the story is one of mawkish sentiment...
With its twenty-two hundred volumes, the French Library is also very complete. These include the literary history of the sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; the history of fiction, of poetry and of the drama; a collection of French drama; the more important dictionaries and the works of the prominent French writers.

Among the complete sets are numbered those of Corneille, La Fontaine, La Rochefoucaud, Molicre...

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 Day and the other the Commencement issue...
...college magazine. It seems rather a waste of good material that so many men should try their hands at this same old theme. The same criticism may be applied to "The Way of the World," which moreover, savors a good deal of "Harvard Episodes." For the rest of the fiction the "Reminiscences of the P. O.," in an interesting account of some freshmen oarsmen at Poughkeepsie, and "Their Class Dinner" is a slight sketch of three men who held an unsuccessful rival class dinner by themselves. The poetry in the number consists of a "Song-The Lover and the Wind...
