...comparison of "Vanity Fair" with "Becky Sharp," it must be remembered that one is the work of a great dramatist, the other of a minor playwright. At the outset it is manifest that the novel must be radically altered in plot before it can be put on the stage. It needs, as playwrights say, a "situation...
...University football eleven that will compete against Yale next fall will in all probability be chosen form the same general material as that of last season. Although this might seem to presuppose the same unfavorable comparison with Yale material as existed last year, yet such is not the case.

The Glee and Banjo Clubs also gave some fine selections but they did not seem to have as much volume as the Yale...

In the closing words of this article, the field of the Advocate is well defined by its comparison with the other College publications: "The pages of the CRIMSON," the writer says, "are interesting as a literal record of facts that concern us; the pages of the Lampoon, as a warped reflection of such facts, as satire, which, though often crude, is based on fact. The Advocate...
