President Hibben, of Princeton, has recently received a letter from A. Piatt Andrew, P. 1893, A.M., Harvard '95, congratulating him on the gallant showing made by Princeton men in the American Ambulance Service.

Mr. Sanger's "Children's Land," faintly reminiscent of the song that thrilled the Brushwood Boy, is mildly pleasing though not distinguished. An occasional awkward...
