...have before us a collection of fourteen drawings by Mr. Van Schaick very much after the fashion of the drawings in "Life"; yet as a whole, more finished and pleasant.

It is strange that this society picture with its inane joke dangling below should be so popular. Yet "The Lorgnette" is better than the usual collection of the sort...

Such things as "Spageltim's Revenge," "A Malayan Tragedy," "Bad Ballads," and the "War Papers," are, it must be said, funny and laughable, but still they appeal to an inferior taste. Most men, who laugh, will also wish that something better, something less forced and more appropriate to a college paper and more in keeping with the Lampoon's former dignity, had been given them to read or look at.
