...poetry excells. Hillyer's "Retrospect" indubitably sings,--though in a well-worn tone; Dos Passos admirably conveys the spirit of the prairies; and Nelson's "Madam" strikes an original vital poetic note. His readers, however, should not turn the page. The remaining verse is more conventional. Hillyer's first sonnet too clearly recalls Drayton; his second, Donne: they constitute studies rather than self-expression. The anonymous run on sonnet appears at line fourteen to have missed connections. Howe's sapphics, on the other hand, are metrical and in phrasing delightful though artificial...
...Dos Passos presents us with two stories, a slam at the proverbial American abroad, not at all pleasant, and the history of a school boy's study hour. The latter pleases better, partly because it contains more of the author's delightful description, partly because of the ephemeral subject, which suits...

Book reviews and editorials complete the issue. Mr. Dos Passos gives a review--or rather impression--of Joseph Conrad's "Lord Jim," one of the most important books of the year. The editorial on the Dudley Gate is too cryptic for ready comprehension. Does it refer to the sculptured lines of verse on the two seats? If so, it is justified both in form and spirit...
...Watson's "Desire of the Moon" is the one dramatic love story in the number. It is at times wittily facetious, at others conventionally sad, on the whole decidedly interesting. It might be called a black story told in pink. In "The Interrupted Romance," J. R. Dos Passos has a plot too frail to be called a plot at all, and a style too soft and adjectival. Descriptive details are good, however, and presented in a cheerful tone. In a brief editorial the editor-in-chief makes a graciously apologetic bow before retiring. We certainly feel like thanking...
