...Edwards '00 sketches the character of a Swiss boy and narrates his struggles to overcome love for home in order to follow attractions in Paris. Throughout the narrative, the writer has skillfully blended description and exposition. "At the Edge of the Moor," by Apthorp Gould Fuller '00, exemplifies the evil of disingenuousness of expression.
