Among the stories, "Pete La Farge" by Mr. Ernst is notable as a triumph over limitations of space. Though but a trifle over three pages long, it lacks scarcely one of the properties which the current practice of our best ten-cent magazines proves helpful toward securing publication. Local color, uncouth dialect, primal passion, heroic resignation, a moral struggle, and a savage fight march in perfect order to an artistically vague ending. A fit companion to "Pete La Farge" is "The Morrigan." Mr. Schenck piles on lurid horrors with the ungrudging hand of love. Beside his sketch, Mr. Proctor...

It is not yet too late for them to come out, and do their share in winning again for Harvard the majority of points in the field events in the dual meet with Yale...
...history of the drama in France showed this leaning toward paganism to such a marked degree that by 1630 the clergy was unequivocally opposed to it. With the production of Moliere's "L'Ecole des Femmes" in 1662, the long-maturing conflict between the clergy and the new literature broke forth. Louis XIV was compelled to banish this comedy for a time from the stage...
