...Holmes," by H. Ward '00. In clever imitation of Conan Doyle's style, the writer narrates an incident which has no part in the memoirs of the "great detective." Throughout, the story is well sustained, and, moreover, it shows a sureness of touch and a power over detail. The movement is swift and the plot is seemingly original. "A Journey's End," by C.F.C. Arensberg '01 is a conventional love story which 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...
...Graydon '01. After briefly picturing the town of Rosslea, on Fair Day, the writer describes the shop of Mickey Doonan, the village blacksmith, and then skilfully introduces upon the scene some of Mickey's "boon companions." In the dialogue which follows there is both vigor and movement, and wherever the writer used exposition or description there is always color and atmosphere.

This action on the part of England drove many of the Boer farmers to cross the Vaal, where they set up a government for themselves, England consenting at the Sand River Convention, held in 1852. The next advance movement of the English came in 1877, when an armed force was sent into the Transvaal to suppress an uprising of the Zulus, and took possession of the Boer government. Although the townspeople wished to be annexed to England when the Boers were driven out in 1878, the Boer farmers objected...
...June number of the Graduates' Magazine deals at length with several of the important questions that have recently been before the University. The opening article is a complete review of the movement for the extension of the graduate franchise and explains the attitude of those in favor of the proposed extension. The defeat of the measure is attributed to a small number of rather prejudiced alumni. The question of University Taxation is the subject of a similar article...
