Richness of local color characterizes the stories in the current number of the Advocate, which differs from the typical number in that it omits the usual long "leading" piece. It contains, instead, expanded daily themes, which, though they possess no literary merit, are interesting to undergraduates. In a story called "Pierre's Mountains," Richard Edwards '00 sketches the character of a Swiss boy and narrates his struggles to overcome love for home in order to follow attractions in Paris.

The first is a tale of a mining town and draws several unusually vivid characters, notably that of the hero, Peter. The plot is interesting from the first and the local color carefully given. It is stories of this type that are most valuable in college papers, for they strike out in original pathos and require the gift of narration in a large degree...
