...editorial is worth reading--and believing. In "College Kodaks" the Advocate editors have set themselves the hard task of commenting, lightly and yet with no obvious attempt at joking, upon the little happenings and phases of college life. For the excellence of the aim, one may easily pardon the treatment which has as yet been only partly satisfactory...

"Out and In," by Ezra Kidd, suffers, as do the rest of the stories from length and the lack of an obvious plot. The writer has shown a tendency to make many pointed observations on human nature in general--perhaps almost more than can be enjoyed at one time...
