...reader hay have, having read this, will be lost in a maelstrom of laughter after completing a letter by someone who was insulted because a freshman at Yale said that his college has produced few great men in this century. This someone has written a biting invective on the lack of merits of Harvard graduates. Although it is slightly childish, is much more interesting than the inane short stories which continue to clutter the pages of this magazine...

The few drawings and etchings are of a like caliber, but the works exhibited seem by their small numbers to betoken a lack of talent in the University which is not the case. To the critical artist the exhibition is apparently satisfying, but for the student who has gone to see the works of his contemporaries, the fewness of those who are represented makes against the interest of the showing...
