Under "Topics of the Day," there is an interesting article on "The Freshman Advisers." The bitter opening caricature of the freshmen is rather uncalled for when it is considered that the greater part of the condemnation of this plan of advisers for the freshmen has come from upperclassmen; and if we mistake not, the Advocate has contributed its quota of editorial sarcasm to the "guardian angels" of the freshmen. Aside from this the article is one of the most sensible which has appeared in the Advocate for some time. No one who has seriously considered the matter can doubt that...
There is at present a very bitter rivalry between the University Glee Club and the Apollo Club at Yale. The latter club was organized early last fall by A. E. Jenks, '89, who is one of the leading literary men in college. The efforts of the club have met with great success and now the musical honors of the college are divided between the two clubs.

The thought is, perhaps, somewhat too deeply hidden by the words, but we do not begrudge the effort to unravel it. Mr. Bates's poem "The Sleeper," develops an original idea. The metre chimes well with the sentiment of the tale; the lines...
