...longest and most notable prose piece in the July number of the Monthly is "Leaf, Somebody's Son" by A. Calvert Smith. The author makes ingenious use of the small boy's point of view to relate a fragment of the Saga of Eric the Red. The difficult style is well sustained, and the story is remarkable for happily chosen details. The small space devoted to the inner plot will disappoint readers who admire Kipling's "Puck of Puck Hill" series...

...Fogg Art Museum has recently received from Mr. Edward P. Warren '83, of Lewes, England, an exceedingly beautiful fragment of a Greek head of the 4th century B. C., in the style of Scopas. The head is particularly interesting because of its resemblance to the famous Moleager now in the Fogg Museum, which is in the same style, being an early Greek copy of a lost original by Scopas...

After noting the fragment of reminiscence of "Early Days in Phi Beta Kappa," which in its brevity but whets curiosity without satisfying it, the impression made upon the reader formulates itself in the hearty wish that the contributors would write in English instead of in dialect. Whether dialect writing is of any philological value may well be questioned; that the reading of dialect is tiresome to a degree is certain. The same amount of labor and skill wasted upon such productions would be better bestowed on efforts to acquire mastery of a true English style and in developing powers...
