Richness of local color characterizes the stories in the current number of the Advocate, which differs from the typical number in that it omits the usual long "leading" piece. It contains, instead, expanded daily themes, which, though they possess no literary merit, are interesting to undergraduates. In a story called "Pierre's Mountains," Richard Edwards '00 sketches the character of a Swiss boy and narrates his struggles to overcome love for home in order to follow attractions in Paris. Throughout the narrative, the writer has skillfully blended description and exposition. "At the Edge of the Moor," by Apthorp Gould Fuller...

...Peabody said that the young man, on coming here, is apt to be somewhat puzzled by the ways that are used to promote Christian work. Here, where all beliefs are represented, where religious expression is reserved, reticent and unemotional, he may not discover until later the strong under-current working for good. Religion indeed, is neither an obligation nor a duty, but the most solemn privilege of a mature man's life. This year, the new comer, if he accepts the privilege, may hear five distinguished men of five different denominations. They come to him not only as preachers...
...current "Lampoon" is decidedly varying in quality. Several of the drawings and articles are really funny, but others are evidently printed merely to fill space. The center page is excellent and quite timely. The most amusing picture in the number is number of five the series "As Others see Us." The takeoff on Rattle at the Riverside Recreation Grounds is good, and the letter describing the drill at the "Sand Oldbonio" is cleverly patterned on the original. "An Everyday Fable" is rather more serious than ordinary Lampoon fiction. The short jokes in the number are very poor, in marked contrast...
