...change in the Harvard Monthly besides its new form. It is nearer the normal magazine in shape; its decorations have grown more seemly; but that is not all. The October issue shows an excellent and largely successful attempt to achieve the live yet dignified spirit of a good monthly review. Quite evidently the Monthly is through, for a year at least, with being a literary safe-deposit vault. Under the new board it appears bent on emerging from those purple shades where the pleasant but inconsequent art of canning the "best literary product of the University" has mildly flourished...
...rest the number is varied, if uneven. The new department, "Here and There," a collection of aphoristic cleverisms on current topics, is an interesting departure, from which much pleasure will come when more hands than one join is its production.

The choices are assessed on Law School work done and to thirty-one "A" men in the second-year class only twelve were chosen to the board. The third-year men elected are E. C.
