...kill her "rival," dying himself in the attempt. Mildred meets a leper, whom she fails to recognize as her old lover, and his talk of having come upon happiness in the quiet of utter resignation, brings to her consoling peace. She returns to the hospital life she had so grown to hate, and in the love of a long faithful friend finds her happiness...
...average of verse in college publications, which is more than can be said of his "Passion." This too is charming in expression, but it seems forced and artificial in thought. "Passion is a little child," sings Mr. Damon. Some day he may discover the child suddenly and powerfully grown up. Another poem deserving special mention is Mr. Cowley's "Adventurer," which has rugged force and individuality. And finally, a strong ending to the Advocate is Mr. Willcox's "A Slave." That, like Mr. Damon's "Beauty," is a "real poem," well above the usual level of undergraduate publications. These...

And if they themselves taught, and taught finely, in their Southern chairs, they would have a large opportunity for correcting some of the notions that have grown up about New England, to the detriment of our relations with many another section of the county. We might hope to achieve a new rating also in the eyes of those Southern professors who would come to the North in exchange. Their gracious courtesy has ever been open to fresh conviction...
Miss Frances Pritchard, of whom Boston bald-headers have grown very fond, is the one real celestial part of the paradise affair. She not only is young and lovely, but her dancing is of the best. "But why," wailed all connoisseurs of this sort of thing, "is she only allowed on the stage for so few precious minutes?" Admirable query! Mr. Teddy Webb becomes a fat German with success; Miss Cleo Mayfield has a well-practised, tough drawl, and Miss Vivienne Segal is nicely demure...
