Among the illustrations, the Prehistoric Yachting Party is an exceptionally clever piece of work in an odd style. One or two of the outline drawings are also good. The other illustrations are not conspicuously well done. The verses include another restaurant lyric--to the divinities of the Oak Grove, this time,--and four stanzas to a Poster Girl, which deserve favorable mention...

This room will be forty feet wide by ninety feet long and will stretch up through all three floors to a roof of open timbers. There will be a high wainscot of oak around all the walls, which will be enriched by the seals and arms of the various College organizations, and at each end will be a large open fireplace with a carved stone mantle. The room will be furnished with settles, easy chairs, large and small tables, and writing desks...
