...Pine Grove," by Mr. W. A. Norris '18; "Song of Spring," by Mr. A. Putnam '18; Mr. Putnam's "The Forest" and his "Liberty," and "Their Lots," by Mr. J. Gazzam '17. The current number is certainly a bargain for the lover of poetry; he can buy it there almost by the wholesale...

An article in the current "Illustrated" contains the information that the Reverend William Sunday is scheduled to visit here next year. It seems almost certain that he will not find existing conditions entirely to his taste, nor from past experience does it seem probable that he will be at all backward in saying as much.

He deserves, at least, unprejudiced consideration, whether or not his ideas...
