...arrestingly written. We prefer Mr. C. G. Paulding's short editorial on the late General Huerta to his longer article. Brief, bitter, and to the point, it reveals, like so much of the writer's other work, a personality which it were far better to agree with comfortably than combat. The only story in the issue--Mr. Dos Passos' "Cardinal's Grapes"--is a light trifle as the author intends it to be. If the latter added more humor to his other gifts,--the reaction to color, feeling for childhood, and sense of atmosphere,--he would be a better artist...
...Angell published a booklet which is of great significance now, as it treats of international conciliation.

Gilman was out of the game with a sprained ankle, and there apparently was no substitute worthy to replace the big regular. Cowen, too, was hors de combat with an injured ligament in the calf...
...discussion. In his defense of the existing examination system, however, he rather explains than justifies the failure of the College to grow in numbers, particularly in its Western representation. There are reasons for this failure to grow, to be sure; but should not more effective means be taken to combat these causes? More especially in the West, where a different system of admission prevails, do not the entrance examinations form a bugaboo which deters many good men from attempting them...
