...together with New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey there were 60 men. In the parallel departments at Harvard there were last year from the strictly Western States 247 men; from these states and New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey there were 513 men.

Clairvoyancy has been the theme of many tales published in the last few years, but by giving his narration a college flavor, and carefully saving up the surprise for the end the author has succeeded in writing a story, interesting and original...
