...that the influence of this absurd literary mountebank has finally waned, if not vanished. The two stories in the present Advocate, which I take as typical, are transitional; the old short-story formula is gone; the new is still in the making.

That tolerance is the very basis of the appeal of the Phillips Brooks House at Harvard University. By putting an emphasis upon conduct rather than creed I believe the Brooks House has assured its position forever in the respect and affection of students. I also believe that...
