...contains some rather skilfully arranged dialogue. In "The Policeman," A. H. Gilbert '01, attempts a sympathetic treatment of low life, and, in seeking to accomplish this, he makes frequent use of cheaply sentimental phrases. "A Junior Partner," by C. R. Saunders '01, is a character study in which a mood is described rather than suggested. "The Revelation," by W. Stevens sC., is a remarkable bit of work in which the characterization or plot, if it contains either, can be revealed only by prolonged study. "One Shall be Taken, The Other Left," by B. F.

...Honor," by Austin Corbin, Jr., is a decidedly clever essay, though one cannot help feeling that the cleverness is misapplied. The first two paragraphs and the last seem to be written in a serious mood and contain so much truth in such a small space that almost every sentence amounts to a truism. The rest of the essay is written in a sort of flippant, serio-comic vein, which is out of place. Honor is too grave a subject to be flippantly treated...
