...thing is unusual, and faintly hopeful, about the latest Advocate: the editorials are the best part of it. They are brief, timely, pointed, sane, and well expressed. There is a letter from the former president, now at Yaphank, which is frank and entertaining. There is a short poem by Mr. Cowley, whose work always shows intelligence and distinction.

There are now some seven hundred upper classmen in Princeton who, under conditions that have obtained for nearly a year, have been debarred from anything but intramural sport.
