...high standard of the paper. There is no contribution that is not well written, no contribution that makes one feel that the editors were short of material and had to fill up somehow. It is frankly undergraduate, frankly literary, devoid of pretensiousness and and affectation, entirely normal and sane. Undergraduate publications are apt to be either trivial and careless or else over serious, too much impressed with their splendid mission. Both these pitfalls the Monthly successfully avoids...

There is a genuine College Spirit,-and it is a "consummation devoutly to be wished." It means real loyalty,-not vandalism. Love of institution that prompts sane, beneficial activity is what the term comprehends. In its truest sense, College Spirit expresses all that college life means to us. It is a crystalization of the undercurrent of the institution. It is the moving force...
