...trifle sleepy, except the one urging a new bridge on Boylston street. The need of this improvement has doubtless been felt by every man who has listened to the creaking chains and rusty joints of the present structure. "At the Gate" by R. W. Child '03, is very obvious as far as the plot goes, after the first page. The effort to introduce more of the college element into college stories, however, is commendable and does much toward making it acceptable to undergraduate readers. "From Oxford to Henley-on-Thames," by F. R. Dickinson '03, is pleasantly written, but drags...
...Ruskin attempts to vindicate Turner on the score of truth, although he nowhere maintains that this truth constitutes the essential character of Turner's art, or any other art. But there are he maintains different orders of truths with which the artist may be concerned. There are the more obvious, unessential and trivial truths of nature, and those which are more recondite, fundamental and characteristic.

Bartlett '01, is full of originality, and, with the exception of a few phrases, is well told. It has the merit of leaving the very obvious lesson to the reader without thrusting it upon him. The last story, "The Break at Sleary's," by J. C. Grew '02, begins well, but hurries on with a carelessness in the treatment of detail which is far from satisfactory...
Remedies are so obvious that it is idle to suggest. The evil is so aggravating that it is impossible--after years--not to protest. A GRADUATE...
