...first issue of the Monthly for the coming winter. This October number is distinctly good, and the Monthly will be doing well if it can keep to the standard set by it. It may fairly be said that none of the prose pieces fail to interest and instruct the reader...
...point wherein the Oxford student has the advantage, or disadvantage as the reader may think, over the American college student, is the regulation that no one shall pursue separate courses of study until he has been at the university a year. No matter what his knowledge may be every man is obliged to wait a year before trying to pass his "Moderations," as they are called; then if successful, he is allowed to study "The Finals," or elective courses.

The first is the better of the two, for while the second is much the better subject, the reader is perhaps a little tired toward the end of being told "he lay on the desert." G. C. Christian contributes a story entitled "The Fate of Mary B." It is well written, but borders a little, perhaps, on the shady...
