There are two things in this number of the Advocate that are distinctly worth while. The first is an article by a Princeton undergraduate upon that university's preceptorial system; the second, a story by Mr. Tinckom-Fernandez called "A Purple Patch," and much better than its name would lead one to expect. The article gives clearly and persuasively an account of the tutorial method used at Princeton, its faults as well as its virtues, and leaves an impression, strengthened by the editorial, that Harvard would do very well to have something of the sort here, which would give...
...best in the number for its sure phrasing of the beauty of night, is a translation from Hugo. Surely the College can offer better and more original verse than any of these three printed.

Its merit lies in the vividness of its pictures, and the success the writer achieves in conveying the feeling inspired by a prospect of city streets in the gray light of morning. In this it recalls some of Mr. Henley's London poems. But its effectiveness is weakened by a curious...
