...their literary results, have nowhere else been so carefully studied. On the other hand, Professor Wendell fails to understand Thoreau and Emerson. Grouping Thoreau with Alcott under the lesser men of Concord is clearly a lapse of judgment. The subject of transcendentalism is also handied in a somewhat superficial manner. The spirit of Emerson is also missed, perhaps because of over-emphasis on the "Yankee" element in Emerson. Mr. John J. Chapman is, on the whole, a surer critic of the Concord prophet...
...England movement as renascent is very illuminating. It helps one to understand what, at a superficial glance, is very puzzling:--that is,--why the great writers of America should have been all New Englanders and of about the same generation. This and kindred topics are treated in a manner wonderful for its fine sanity...
...Architectural subjects in France and in Flanders, and are all admirable examples of picturesque architectural delineation. There is also an early water color drawing by Turner, a view of a gentleman's country-seat with wooded grounds, which is an unusually fine example of Turner's early manner.

In addition to these, ten drawings by Ruskin are temporarily hung on the same wall. The drawings date from different epochs...

Both editorials are very readable, the extravagant exposition of the manner of obtaining Pennsylvania game seats being particularly amusing. "Jack Tyler's Father," is a football story which contains much human nature but lacks the force of a climax or an effective catastrophe. The best drawing of the number is the centrepiece--"Puzzle: Find the man who vows he will never take another girl to a game"--a clever illustration of a situation decidedly within the range of possibility. A black and white poster effect by R. Edwards '01 and an illustration in wash on the first page are also...
