...editorial of the current number of the Advocate sets a criterion for contributions which it is sincerely to be hoped will be held to in future. The writer classes a large proportion of his contributions as "Soft Melancholy, Dull Despairing and Dramatically Tragic." He might have added Weirdly Foolish and Sentimentally Tiresome. Unfortunately many past stories of the Advocate have been one or all of these...
...other hand there have been, of course, stories both wholesome and interesting. These have presented the bright and attractive sides of college life, or of the life without the college. If imagination, they have been legitimately so, as is the sketch "Out of the Night," in the present number. In short, they are of the cheerfulness for which the Advocate now appeals.

Fuller 1900 a fairly successful attempt at weirdness of effect. Besides these, two and a half pages are occupied with an exposition on mountain climbing which might...
...forth-coming number of the Monthly opens with a paper from Professor Royce entitled: "Originality and Consciousness," an answer to the question "Why is the best human originality an unconscious product?" Professor Royce analyses "our human type of consciousness" with a view to getting at the originating element in our nature, and comes to the conclusion that it is the subconscious drift of our nature, not "consciousness that, in us men, is the originator." The subject of the symposium, which should have been called "Harvard's attitude toward smaller colleges" must strike the average reader as a rather far fetched...
