...George Ade, perhaps by no fault of his own, has not yet become a member of the Harvard faculty. Among his many golden truths is the often quoted aphorism that "they all look good when they're far away." To nothing in Cambridge does this apply more forcefully than to the Lampoon. In its own office, and among all Harvard men everywhere, is a tradition that once upon a time the Lampoon was a perfectly side-splitting paper...
...amusing as is also the worm epic, the last sentence of which approaches the heights of Mr. Larrabee's work in 1921. No so much can be said for the "Inkings" in this number, with the possible exception of the "Ten Guineas". The nod in the direction of George Ade is all well enough, but unnecessary.

Former Governor Warren T. McCray of Indiana, brother-in-law of George Ade (humorist), unsuccessful farmer, K. K. K. enthusiast, now lies sick in the Atlanta penitentiary, where he was sent two years ago for using the mails to defraud. In April, big Senator Watson, politically powerful, pleaded before President Coolidge for the convict's release; last week he tried again (bringing along the other Indiana Senator). But the convict's term of ten years, despite the convict's friends, remains unabbreviated...
