...only story in the number is "A Literary Love Affair," by Mr. Rollins, who has dashed off eight full pages of love and adventure--or rather, a lapse of love and misadventure--absorbing all but three pages of the number. The plot is good and moves along well, but the style is not workmanlike. The piece is too long for its substance; it impresses one as being "padded," as though the writer had incorporated unimportant incidents merely to please his fancy or give his descriptive powers a fling.

...urging Harvard men to reap the harvests in Europe after the war, is deserving of praise, though the matter is bromidic. Mr. Cowley's comments on McFee's "Casuals of the Sea" are keen and to the point; he seems to have a grasp of the essentials of a good review...

Such a purpose is comprehensible and its good points are apparent to anybody, whether or not he believes them sufficiently weighty to form the basis of a new education for youth after the present educational system shall have been swept away as faulty beyond amendment. The present system has not yet been over-thrown, but the attempt to construct a new one before destroying the existing scheme cannot be too highly praised...
