...first number of the Advocate, with its contents of very varied degrees of merit, can hardly be called disappointing, for one does not expect consistent excellence in its contributions; yet one cannot help wishing that the prose in an opening number might have been such as to prepossess the reader more favorably toward the coming volume that a glance at the stories offered is likely to do. The editorials are a straight-forward setting forth of thoughts pertinent to the opening year--the reunion for the upper classmen, the new friendships and opportunities for the Freshmen--and are worth attention...
...third base W. C. Matthews '05, shortstop, H. D. Kernan '05, right field. Besides these six men, P. N.

The prize for an English dissertation by a graduate will not be awarded this year, as no essay presented was found to have sufficient merit. The prizes for Greek and Latin dissertations will be announced later...
...last number of the Lampoon contains a good deal that is timely and humorous. Though the drawings are not striking, those by W.N. Taylor '03 and the center page by D.C. Bartholomew '06, are exceedingly effective through their clever simplicity. Most of the other drawings are not without merit, the only really insipid effort being carefully located on the cover...
