This year, for the first time in the history of Harvard, a Latin play is to be presented by the undergraduates of the college; and the Phormio of Terence has been selected because it approaches nearer than others to the modern play in the plot and its development. The date for the presentation has been practically settled as the nineteenth of April, the anniversary of the Concord Fight; for the Latin plays, in the days of their popularity, were reserved for festival occasions; and it is the aim of the Latin department to make as exact a reproduction...
...Sofa Cushion" by John Green Jr. is the best story of the number. It has a good plot and is simply and pleasantly written. As a whole the Advocate is rather better than usual...
...really a very good story. "The Man in White and the Man in Black," the first story of the number is by Arthur C. Train '96. Like his former work this is excellent. Train's work is certainly above most the Advocate stories. It is rather an uncommon plot and is a well written and interesting story.

It is, like the first part, largely statistics and to the average reader rather uninteresting...
...Townsend Walsh is one of the best things of the number. It is a story of a troup of wandering actors and is told in a bright and entertaining style. "The Sudden Conversion of Deacon Enoch Grubb" is rather weak and flat. There is not much of a plot and the form is not good enough to make the story interesting reading. "Reaping Tares" by H. H Chamberlain is a very pretty story. "Sleep" by C. G. Alexander is a piece of poetry rather above average college verse...
