Barring the first book review, the November Monthly has taken an aggressive, straightforward tone fairly free from convention and happily from preciosity, Professor Francke's featured article on "Germany's Hope," that is, individual subordination to ideal advance of the state, would have conveyed its point with somewhat less iteration of detail. A writer in the Spectator recently countered this point of view by finding English salvation in the British quality of "you-be-damnedness." That Harvard has it in individuals is evident from the somewhat daring editorials. There, for instance, R. G. N. avers that better poetry...
Reverting to prose: J. S. Watson, Jr., in a resume of Professor Muensterberg's book misplaces his emphasis in dwelling on points which he finds extravagant. If the book be for the most part "sane," why not convey that impression? "The Spirit of Satire" is better; it exemplifies the serious prose which befits a magazine with intellectual readers. Still, one should, not begin with Greeks and end with grunts. For R. W.

The name should be legibly written on one line without protruding into the margin. Those who disregard this notice will not be considered...
...John Harvard Scholarship. He may hear in a vague way that there is such a thing as a Detur,--a most mysterious object,--attached to a John Harvard Scholarship. No official communication about it reaches him, but at length he learns that it is a book, and that it must be applied for. Upon application, it develops that it is not given out until after the Commencement of his Sophomore year. So presumably he applies at the Office and gets his book in the autumn of his Junior year, having waited six months before even knowing of his winning...
