...Lawpoon makes its first appearance this season today. Under the regime of the '88 board, the tone of that paper have been steadily advancing and the present number shows an exceptional excellence in its well executed pictures and the humor of its articles. There is no college paper which labors under more difficulties than the Lampoon and none in which success should be more assured. The experiment of starting the same kind of a publication at other colleges has proved a dismal failure, and every student should show his appreciation of the energy and push which has been displayed...
...irony of the jester - whose person always is held sacred - does more to show dictatorial acts in their right colors than double the amount of serious writing. It is a pity, however, that anything was said in the last issue about the college Faculty, the proper target of college humor. But on the other hand, this deficiency was more than counter-balanced by the traces of Puck-ian humor discernable here and there. Especially do we approve the spirited manner in which the articles in the last number give a well-deserved trust at the experiments in physical exercise...

The truth is she is attempting to do so, and, unfortunately, giving us nothing in their place. - Mobile Register...
...another of the double-identity stories which are so frequent in current literature. Mr. McCleary has contributed an exceedingly bright poem entitled. The Ballad of the Climcha Isles. It gives evidence of sound imagination. and is written in very smooth lines through which flows a subtle undercurrent of delicious humor. The remaining poetry deserves no particular notice. Finally we would call attention to a very ably written review of the new Quarterly Journal of Economics, which is one of the best book notices we have seen in the Advocate...
...Acharnians" of Aristophanes was first acted in the year 425 B. C., in the suburbs of Athens, to celebrate the Lenaea, or winter feast of Dionysus. Although like most of the old comedies of the Greeks, it is plotless, and much of its humor and satire belong exclusively to the Athens of Pericles, the choice of this comedy for representation by the students was wisely made. It is an excellent example of the poet's liveliest style, and the text is pure and comparatively easy to master. The stage was set very prettily, and in accordance with Greek traditions...
