...artistically written stories, are a happy exchange for the usual expanded daily themes. "Counterfeiting," by A. H. Gilbert '01, is an ingenuous and amusing little sketch of a somewhat conventional sort. The Hon.

The explanations are familiar to most of us, but it must not be forgotten that the page is intended for Freshmen. "Some of our advocates for good roads" would be better placed in any other paper than the Lampoon where a collegiate air is perhaps essential. The pictures of the Yard on the nights of the Sophomore-Freshman rushes are executed with skill, especially the first one, and the small drawings could well...
