W.'s clever sketch "Happy Thoughts in Cambridge," which suggests an agreeable range of reading on the part of Harvard students,--there is not a word which might not have been written in New York, or Kansas City, or even New Haven. The Advocate has risen to the position of a literary journal which delights, amuses and elevated the public taste. It even has a Christmas story, Mr. Hagedorn's "The Pastor of Wenkendorf," which is agreeable, climactic and might well appear in the Saturday Evening Post. The old Advocate...
