...election held last night. The other officers of the Club were chosen as follows: first Vice-President, D. C. Stone 1M.; second Vice-President, B. J. Remes '28, and Secretary-Treasurer, F. R. Chevalier '29. The newly elected Executive Committee will consist of W. G. Campbell '27, F. N. Rich '29, and G. F. Gravell...
...seems a pity that this book, with a subject so rich, and fragrant, po- tentially as full of life and color as the Mississippi in the old days, should be dull. For a gambler's anecdotes to be flat it is unforgiveable. Every now and then some life breaks through the crust of monotonous, disorganized narative--it is impossible to pass soberly by the time when the boiler burst and killed fourteen preachers, while the only people saved on the boat were the abandoned souls who were playing roulette in the barber shop under Mr. Devol's chaperonage...
...most talked about stories in the book, and from the point of view of anyone but an undergraduate, inexcusably talked about, is "The Rich Boy." It is not consummately done.

It is the kind of book in which plot matters not a whit and conversation, behavior and obiter dicta are everything. The first is stilted, the second unreal-having breakfasted, these upper-class Brit-ishers "wiped their lips and put down their...
