...Asphodel," by William V. Moody, and "The Pale Stranger," by Julian Palmer Welsh. In the former, the author shows the material for a very pretty and interesting story, which he fails to do full justice in the working up.

This work in music offers a man a profitable and delightful way of spending his spare time during his course. The freshman club is not altogether an end in itself from the fact that from its best men must come, later in the course, the nucleus of the 'varsity club...
