...editorial board of the Advocate seems to have recovered nobly from the draft made upon it by the National Progressive Party, for one seldom finds in our College journals better writing and better judgment than are shown in the first two editorials in the current number. The sound doctrine set forth in the article concerning Freshmen is further insisted on by Mr. D. E. Dunbar in "The Making of a Standard." Both Faculty and students are apt to take it for granted that the standard of scholarship in the College can be raised only by the action of instructors...
...best work, and for a few games held the lead. In the third set also, he managed to outdo his opponent for a short while; but during the rest of the match, Washburn was never pressed, his serve and his long backhand stroke working especially well. He seldom ran in, but when he did, it was for a sure kill. At all times he displayed rare coolness and judgment, and his placing was excellent.

Moreover, though the teams were not evenly matched, Holy Cross did her full share to make...
...good example of the lack the average reader feels in them. One never feels he understands the people; one does not feel sure they understand each other. The author has so refined them that they are no longer the plain human sort one knows. Besides, they so seldom do anything worth while. They talk, not always brilliantly, and fade away somehow in whispers and twilight. They make one long for blood and lust even to melodrama...
