...history and traditions of Harvard as one of the university's most valuable attributes and emphasized the importance of knowing her great men and famous localities, and of recognizing the most truly characteristic and essential traits of the institution. With that spirit of "intellectual austerity" in mind, that love of the things of the intellect for their own sake and of truth for truth's sake, one is not likely to be deceived by jingoistic loyalty or by the shortsighted ideals of a small company of men. For the lasting tradition that should permeate all work affords a perspective...
...imitate or to burlesque an author and an artist is one thing: to catch their real spirit is quite another, a vastly higher achievement. This Mr. Evarts and Mr. Barron have quite succeeded in doing. They know thoroughly and love completely Lewis Carroll and John Teniel. This is no burlesque Alice that they have given us, no painted imitation: the real Alice has wandered about our Harvard world, and another volume goes to that shelf to which additions are so slow, the shelf of the best beloved.

...heart of an ex-editor glad, not only because the number provides interesting entertainment, but because it is so joyously youthful and so youthfully sincere. The spirit that founded the Monthly, and through lean and fat years kept it true to its old gods, is in these pages--the love of literature and life; of beauty, of humanity, of song; of quiet nature and of outlandish romance; of all those things, in fact, which a man, when he is but just become a man, yields to as he never will again. The Monthly endures because it expresses the best that...
