...body of the Advocate is taken up by the senior dinner oration and poem. The oration urges college and class loyalty. The poem is evidently better fitted to be heard after a gay dinner than for a cold blooded perusal. The solitary story "The Rajah's Son," is original in motive and well written. The verses "Memorial Tower" are perhaps the best in the number, though the "Sonnet" is pleasing and the co-operative triolets sound prettily...

He showed how this passage is a warning to all that are at ease, and say "I need nothing." We must always seek something greater and fuller, always stive for nobler things, and finally, when we have come to deserve God, He will come to us. We should find some task which human powers have failed to do, and which...
