...verse, which has mostly emancipated itself from being libre, the authors are Messrs. S. F. Damon, J. R. Parson, M. Cowley, W. A. Norris, L. K. Garrison, R. H. Snow, A. Putnam, P. R. Doolin, R. S.

Apart from the editorials, this Advocate is divided between four short stories, an article on "Tea Drinking," and thirteen pieces of verse. Of this the prose on the whole is less important than the verse. The light, little, rambling essay on "Tea Drinking," by Mr. Alfred Putnam, has good comment and observation, but it seems less spontaneous than other contributions of the same author to the Advocate.

Mr. Norris's "Ways of Wisdom" is more adequate in expression than his "Sacrament," perhaps just because the feeling is less intensive. Mr. Putnam's first sonnet is graceful and possesses what undergraduate poems often lack--logical structure. His second does not so clearly deserve this praise. "Crepuscule," by Mr. Hillyer, is a pretty conception prettily worked out. The verse runs well and the reminiscences of older English poetic diction (in a good sense) are not unpleasing. The other verse contributions in the number are of less interest. Mr. Snow...
