...would be difficult even for the best disposed to offer a satisfactory excuse for the existence of several of the stories which follow the editorial. The editing of the material is careless and the material itself lacks substance. "A" Kink in Criticism," is an ill disguised attempt to present in novel form a plot long ago worn threadbare, although originally it had the merit of basis in fact. "Lost and Found" is deserving of praise for its clever structure; it is the only story in which the movement of the plot cannot be anticipated at the start. "Antonio's Visit...
...more or less conflict, which it is claimed, restricts to an undesirable degree the free working of the elective system. Ever since the adoption of the tabular view arrangement, in 1881, providing for meetings of each full course three hours a week on alternate days, it has been increasingly difficult to fill the afternoon hours.

...University basketball team will play Amherst this evening at Amherst. It is rather difficult to forecast the outcome of the game on account of the fact that the two teams have played no games from which it is possible to judge of their comparative ability. If the University team plays the game of which it has at times showed itself capable, it should have no difficulty in winning. The regular men will go into the game tonight and with Linehan at centre and Smith playing forward again, the playing of the New York trip should be materially improved. Since...
