...describing under the title, "A Laboratory of Life," some of the philanthropic enterprises carried on by Harvard men. Some verses called "Neglect," by G. A. E., are clever in a way, but a story, "The Divided Letter," signed with the same initials is altogether crude. Another piece of fiction, "Points of View," by G. W.

...calendar for November, are very effective. Of the editorials, the first, though obviously necessary, is not happily done. Toward the end, it rambles into ground where trespassers should be prosecuted. The second editorial, about the Crimson-Lampoon game, is far better, quite in another class, combining fact and fiction in the Lampoon's own naive little way. It agrees to say nothing and succeeds beyond all expectation...
