Although several of the contributions to the fourth number of the Advocate, which is out today, are decidedly mediocre, the issue as a whole may be considered as fairly good. The editorials treat of topics of every day interest to Harvard men, and the final one in particular gives an excellent exposition of Harvard's attitude to the dual league. The editorials are characterized by a conciseness and perspicuity which many of the remaining articles in the number need...
...graceful. It would be just as well if the author of "Sonnet" had a more appropriate title for his verse. Most men who are at all familiar with poetry are not unaware that fourteen lines of a certain metre and rhymed in a certain way constitute a sonnet.

The story which appears today is a student reminiscent sketch, depicting in a perfectly natural manner the abyss of mortification into which a particular seaside resort...
...verse of the number is common-place. The "Triolets" have none of that delicacy of turn and sentiment which this particular form of rhyme should exhibit. The other poem of the number is a sonnet upon "Greatness," a word which stands in direct contrast to the lines it heads. The chief features of this sonnet are the absence of poetical imagery and a presence of mixed metaphors...
