This week two poems and one or two contributions have been sent in unaccompanied by the names of their writers, and consequently are not published.

Even the younger members of that body are just beginning to recognize the fact that the enthusiasm of their undergraduate days has departed from our halls; and a bit of real, honest enthusiasm in any department of study is becoming more and more prized from its rarity.
