...black, designed by C. M. Bill '00, is appropriate and well drwan, and the centre picture is not only creditable, but unique. It is a scene in the Yard on Class Day and is natural and realistic. The Almanac is more carefully drawn than heretofore, and contains more humor.

He represents Falstaff as he was and gives him credit for his wonderfully brilliant wit and sense of humor, but he also shows him as unprincipled, selfish, egotistical and vulgar, and, in the end, the prince sees through Falstaff's frivolity and sham, recognizes his utter worthlessness and condemns him as unfit for the society of true...
