...inclined to say. "This must be a pot-boiler," and then we take it up and to our surprise find again fresh, well-balanced work. "Admiral's Light" is no exception. It is a breath, all to short, of down-east air, tingling with the strong, salt flavor of sea-girt downs and long, pebbly beaches; a tantalizing glimpse of gray ocean and pine-clad islands. The story, as a mere story, amounts to little, but why should it? The book does not purport to be more than a few stray chapters from the lives of a few people, isolated...
...treatment, are worth while from all points of view. Nothing is more important in reforming abuses than well-directed and kindly ridicule. Of the verse, the "Ballade of Lost Editors," by W. G. Tinckom-Fernandez sC., is the best. It has unusual knowledge of values and a real poetic flavor. "Rain in the Night," by R. MacVeagh '10, has a strong, sane rhythm, reminiscent in parts of Kipling.

Some people say that the young man was untruthful when he said he had kept all the commandments, and that he was trying to deceive Christ by hiding something else that would prevent his obtaining eternal life...
...number also contains the usual By-the-Way some further account of Freshman innocence, an English conference with a personal flavor, and a patter of amusing short jokes. The drawings vary from extreme decision where they are decorative to extreme indecision where they are meant to be satirical. It is chiefly in this matter of caricature, and in the verse, that a certain weakness makes itself felt. Wit and humor have a narrow field in a College paper, but a very propitious one, since in College every one is or ought to be merry and everything has a right...
