...Advocate is, on the whole, of real interest. The editorials are clear and sensible; and the remarks on the comparative failure of Harvard to develop an internal democratic spirit are worth the attention of the whole College. The two outstanding contributions are those of Professor Hack and Mr. R. C. Rand. In reality, they are complementary; for they both constitute a needed protest against that evasion of initiative which is regretably characteristic of the present era in the American college. On most of Mr. Lamont's effective plea for the Endowment Fund I am estopped from commenting; but I would...

By far the best work in the entire number is Mr. Spaulding's "Fancy." This is evidently the work of a man with no mean literary talent. Next year under the stimulus of competition from the Harvard Magazine, combined with the more liberal policy which Mr. Garrison is expected to inaugurate...
