...first number of the Advocate for the current academic year modestly states the aim of the paper. Commendable, this, and admirable, were sufficient emphasis put on the word "Instructive." But the current number is likely to make a graduate at least fear that the editors of the advocate do not subject undergraduate articles to sufficiently severe criticism to furnish their authors much real instruction in the art of writing. More than half of the sixteen pages of the present paper deserve praise solely for general, but not invariable, correctness of style (while after all should be taken for granted...
...case the suicide is not only more clearly inevitable but better justified by the dramatic effect. Mr. F. E.

Davis 1L., in his self-sufficiency and in his arrogance of difference from ordinary human beings, is only less deformed than the unfortunate youth in "The Reckoning," by C. W. Wickersham 1L., who, having made an ass of himself generally, took "a queer shaped object...
