...custom of Seniors retiring at the mid-years is not, however, peculiar to the CRIMSON. In most Harvard organizations there is the tendency, and it might be said to be almost a tradition, that the Senior during his last half year is a privileged character to be let down as easily as possible. But a few months and his college life will be a thing of the past; therefore he should take things as easily as possible while...

But it is nevertheless most fitting that the colleges should lead in the movement to show respect for him, because he possessed almost as natural traits many of the finest mental and moral qualities which America is nowadays trying to develop by means of her educational institutions...

An unsigned sketch parading under the deceptive title "College Kodaks," produces a very full and clear impression in a page of remarkably simple almost matter of fact narrative. "To Say the Least: Ungentlemanly," by H. Williams, Jr., is much in the Stockton vein. The off-hand rapidity of the action is most admirably suited to its impossible but amusing plot. "By Two," by F. M. Alger, is as good as it is hard to characterize...
