...regiment" is dainty and sings prettily; and Miss Odell does an excellent bit of acting in the bazaar scene. Although the comedians--Messrs. Monroe, Judels and Edwards--are persevering and fairly amusing, their lines are not too humorous. The chorus, frequently prominent, is unusually good, particularly in the male element, while the orchestra is more than adequate...
...with possibly a single exception, all are worthy of the place they have won in the Advocate. The stories, too, are well written, though slight and immature artistically, as compared with the verse, and depend too exclusively for their effectiveness upon some simple, strong, unshaded contrast, or upon some element of surprise--extravagant or farcical--in the denouement.

Unmindful alike of college and country, they...
...final step has been taken University business should go on as usual. Since there is a possibility of special final examinations being given in a short time, the present hour examinations ought to be considered more seriously. For some men they may in great part be the deciding element in the final grades for the year's courses. Like-wise, it is poor judgement for men to drop organized athletic work on the supposition that all contests will be cancelled...
