President Wilson, we call on you to stop immediately the American intervention in Russia. We call on you to lift what is virtually a blockade of European Russia. We call on you to stop American support of the Generals Denikin, Kolchak, and Yudenitch, and to initiate a policy of financial and economic aid to the Russian people...
...pretentious, and difficult of fulfillment, but shows the sort of boundless ambition that deserves laudation. Certainly their opportunity is golden, their well advertised inauguration propitious, but it remains to be seen if they can bring back the breath of life to the stagnant literary life of the undergraduate and lift again the torch dropped from the grasp of the dying Monthly...

Mr. Auslander's sonnet, like all his work, shows talent and skill; but, hardened though we are to mixed novelties, we cannot accept as genuine his prayer for "the feathered thrill of birds." Mr. La Farge's "To My Goddess" exhibits feeling for the music of verse and contains pretty details. Unhappily the reviewer's copy omits the last line...
