Representing your son's classmates at Harvard, we desire to express our deep sympathy for you in the great loss you have sustained. Though he was less widely known than some, his wholesaled and manly good-fellowship, his unfailing wit and good-humor, and his bright, friendly disposition, will cause him long to be remembered by all with whom he came in contact. Yours sincerely, ERNEST R. GREENE, ARTHUR D. WYMAN, GEO. PARKER MILNE, REGINALD FINCKE, JAMES LAWRENCE...
...Vanitatum," by F. M. Class, are both well told, the former with some descriptive power, the latter with a good insight into the characters which it contains.

The verse and small jokes are as bright as usual, but a short poem entitled "How to Propose" is far above the average...
...Lampoon, is amusingly and cleverly drawn in the current number, as is also the usual sprinkling of illustrated definitions and nonsense rhymes. We are used to expect, however, a better centre page than appears in this issue. The drawing is so roughly and carelessly done that any humor which may have been originally in the idea is lost. "Hypnotizing a Volcano," is particularly amusing to those who have taken Geology...
