...around the pages and between the columns have been taken out, and the articles end across the page instead of filling up one whole column and a fraction of the other. The verses are honored with the full width of the page. All these changes have a very pleasing effect, tending to clear the Advocate from those traces of amateurishness which are the concomitants of the average college paper. The editors of the Advocate are to be congratulated on the success of their maiden number...
...never tried to represent such difficult themes as the shield of Achilles. His skill was, however, shown in the way in which he overcame the inherent clumsiness of the sea monster which usually accompanied Thetis. In the later vases the artist tried to give the effect of a foreground and background by the use of foreshortening; but, owing to the fact that he was confined to a single color, the attempt was not successful. The capture of Troy, as described by the non-Homeric epics, was a favorite subject, and was treated in a great variety of ways...

...really serious articles which occasionally make their appearance in the Advocate. The writer makes a plea for mission work to be carried on by the students of Harvard as it is by those of Oxford and the University of Edinburgh. Whether such a plea is likely to have any effect on the men at Harvard is a matter of grave doubt. There are a few, no doubt, who would be willing to make the sacrifice, but most of us are too selfish, too securely bound up in our own petty lives, to give much thought to the unfortunate beings...
