...style is special to his thought. If his ideas are conventional and derived, his style will draw upon outworn terms and "literary slang." His problem is to know his own meaning exactly and to express it in his own personal way. To think independently and to phrase freshly, because specifically, is his success. Such seem to be the conclusions suggested significantly by these articles...
...worth while. Judged by this standard, the last number, through not extraordinary, agreeably justifies its existence. The pictures, for all their rather crude drawing, are good-natured and tolerably local. The text-Lampoon text has always consisted principally of "filling"-contains a divertingly new interpretation of a familiar phrase of Emerson's, and is generally and happily free from such faults of taste as often make humorous journalism repellent...

Neither team showed more than very ordinary ability in weaving extemporaneous rebuttal into...
