...place of honor in the Monthly is justly given to Mr. Rogers's "The Jester," a story or little drama in verse of a jester who would be more than a fool. Mr. Rogers is steadily gaining skill in expression; many of his lines have a swing which one remembers, such as this: "A ruined chateau, a terrace, a garden, a summer breeze...
...verse of the number aside from "The Jester" certainly belies the title of the latter. It is all very serious, not to say solemn. In "The Modern World," Mr. Wheelock dreams of a day "when Socialism, like another Christ, shall shatter the old world," and in an "Epilogue" his spirit reels, "Drunk with a defiance stronger than the tyranny of death!"

Both drawings and text of the third number of the Lampoon reflect the present momentary interests of Harvard life, as interpreted by the College jester. The humor is as it should be, distinctively undergraduate humor. Timeliness is the mark and the merit of most of the contributions. These are divided about equally between the two great facts of undergraduate life during the first term, the advent of the Freshman class with its attendant complications, and "The Game."
