Given an imaginative girl camping out alone, a gallant youth happening upon her, and a rainstorm enveloping both, and what will be the result? If you desire a pleasing answer, read in the current Monthly Mr. Roy Follett's "The Fires,"--a story which treats a difficult situation with poetic delicacy of sentiment. Mr. E. E. Hunt's prize poem, "John Milton," may be regarded as a welcome addition to what seemed to some of us our inadequate celebration of the poet's tercentenary; and it deserves the high praise of being called worthy of its lofty theme.

...current issue of the Advocate confirms two beliefs long held by some of us, that most if not all of the contents of a college paper should have some connection with college life or thought, and that there is available for such a paper material much more interesting than the average short story.

And yet some such formula as this, it seems, would frequently apply. The current issue, at any rate, is not above mediocrity. Not that the contributors always lack ideas; in two cases at least subjects of importance are broached, on which undergraduate opinion just now is desirable. The real trouble seems to be that the work is not carefully thought to or logically arranged, and that the product of an idle moment as allowed...
