...music is catchy, and in several places shows great merit. The second entr'act, by M. Lang '02, was particularly well received...
...March Monthly is, in the timeliness and merit of its articles and editorial, one of the best numbers that has appeared this year.

Next in merit is "The Goody Destructa," another animal from "Lampy's Menagerie," which is fast growing to a fine and entertaining collection...
