This number has, however, a good collection of verse, although Mr. MacVeagh's "Adventurers" is not up to the family standard, nor as good as some other poems in this same issue. The standard surprise story which every Advocate has contained since the misty days of the paper's beginnings is here also,--"A Matter of Taste." Is there, then, deliberate humor when Mr. Leffingwell bids us at the bottom of the page turn our thoughts "To Death. (From the French of Beaudelaire...
There is melody but little novelty in Mr. Nelson's "The Haven," and a good model at least posed for Mr. Parson's "Scott." There is a reality about Mr. Kirby's "Sonnet" which is lacking in Mr. Sanger's "To --?". The "Winter Symphony" of Mr. Norris is another good work, and Mr. Benshimol is deadly serious with his "Cry and Echo."

...itself and frequently upheld. From this fault the editorials are happily free as is also the interesting treatise by Mr. Forest Izard '08.

The subject chosen this year is "Efficient Billboard Regulation" and the competition is open to any undergraduate of good standing in any college. Theses should not be over ten thousand words in length, should be typewritten in duplicate, and both copies sent to Chuion R. Woodruff, Secretary of the National Municipal League, North American Building, Philadelphia, Pa., signed by a pseulonym. Accompanying this should be sent a sealed envelope containing the pseudonym, real name, age, class, college, and residence of the competitor...
...speedy Pennsylvania team. The 2-lap and 3-lap relays should turn out to be the closest and most interesting races. At present the University and the Pennsylvania quartet are the favorites, but Cornell will put up stiff opposition. The 6-lap and medley relays should also be good races. The University will have a tough fight in these last two, as Yale, Princeton, and Cornell all have fast teams entered...
