...festive cover of the Christmas Advocate encloses a varied collection of stories and verses. "The Tangled Web that Allen Wove," by W. N. Seaver sets forth the dire results which inevitably follow a deviation from the path of truth. It cannot be denied that the author has contrived for the punishment of his hero a complication of exquisite tortures,--which are physical rather than moral.

Nevertheless the strain is a very severe one, greater than in any other of our College contests, and many men have, I know, felt the effects of it for a very considerable period...
Prohibition, he said, cannot solve the liquor problem. State prohibition is already a policy of the past, for while it has been tried in fifteen states, it exists today in only five; and in these states the prohibitory laws are scandalously administered. Local prohibition has been successful in many rural districts, but has proved ineffectual in towns and cities. Prohibition has failed, because it does not represent public sentiment...
