...Preparedness Number of the Illustrated is, within its self-imposed limits, a creditable example of this prosperous and popular periodical. It is, to be sure, somewhat surprisingly brief in content, but whether this be fault or virtue it is easily understood in a magazine which appears every fortnight.

Since it has been proved that history never repeats itself, it is ridiculous to study events of the past. The history of events previous to 1900 should be thrown out of the curriculum, if for no other reason than that it unquestionably overtaxes the undergraduate's memory--already sufficiently strained in keeping his tea dance engagements in proper order...
