...Monthly is chiefly devoted to literary subjects. The graduate article, however, continues the discussion of independence in politics, begun by Mr. M. Storey and Mr. H. H. Darling. In "Public Opinion as a Force," Mr. T. Wheelwright has answered convincingly some of the arguments advanced by Mr. Darling in "Partisanship or Independence in Politics-a Choice" although on other points he has not met his opponent squarely. Taking the ground that "strictly speaking we are all foreigners in America," he shows that we have a "huge, ignorant vote" of Europeans and Africans which must be trained to an intelligent support...
...last prose article, "Partisanship or Independence in Politics-a Choice," is contributed by Mr. H. H. Darling. It takes the opposite ground from Mr. M. Storey's "Politics as a duty and as Career," in advocating party organization rather than personal independence. The writer divides independent voters into five classes, and after showing that the first three are objectionable on moral grounds, claims that the experience of the last few years has proved the inexpediency of the others.

As yet no men from the Law School have signified an intention of marching. Since the Law School has always been repesented in the past, we urge the speedy formation of a battalion in that department...
...receptively to its great whole is strong. The part which calls itself a whole and shuts itself up against the inflow of that universal which is "evergreen," grows dry and barren and desolate and dies. Of how many lives of men and institutions is the secret here? All false partisanship, all barren specialism and spiritual selfishness is but the effort of a part to take itself out of the embrace of the whole. The healthy partisanship is always reacting out towards the universal interests and methods. The healthy specialism is always healthy itself in the absolute and universal truth...
