...translation contributed by a graduate. While it is perhaps of the greatest intrinsic value of any recent contribution, it seems out of place in a magazine professing to publish "the best literary work that is produced by students of the university."

Carpenter; the last two acts to be published in the December number. This is the first English translation of this much talked of social drama. Ibsen stands today for the protest against the complicated mechanical drama so much in vogue, in place of which he gives us plays deepening for their interest on the steady development of one strong and simple the me.
