Usage:

...with the freedom with which the lady of the pink tights and the white pony is made to tell her story; and the insistence upon the setting by references to the passing crowds of trippers and the sights and sounds of a seaside resort seems forced and mechanical. Mr. Schenck's "Psychical Research" is rather well told, but the conclusion is obxions almost from the start. "The Conciliator," by H. Edgell, a fish story in New England dialect, and "McVane's Retirement." by R. E. Andrews, the story of a railroad wreck, are decidedly conventional both in style and plot...

...genuine humor and much felicity of detail. Mr. Powel's "up to the minute" story is a wild burlesque, of considerable merit, with a preface which might well be reduced to a title, and a postscript which in spite of its kindly spirit might well be omitted. Mr. Schenck's "Missing Mistletoe" is slow in getting under way, and sudden ever afterwards. Much of the dialogue lacks ease, but, the sudden part is diverting. Mr. Warren's "Lost Christmas" is a story of sorrow, told creditably yet lacking power. Mr. Whitman's "Chamburlesque" I cannot estimate fairly without reading...

...rather a design in a series--a thing necessary to the perfection of the whole, and yet complete in itself even when detached. In at least three out of the four contributions to the current Advocate, in which Incident is the motive, the suspended interest is admirably maintained. Mr. Schenck's "Paper Chase" Mr. Tinckom Fernandez's "Necessary Child," and Mr. Morgan's "Hongkong to New York," alike leave us not only with a desire for more, but with a certain childish resentment against those authors for not telling us what "happened" afterwards. Mr. Millet's "Book Agent...

Another society, started by C. H. Raymond '10, contains 10 charter members and several new men, but has not met regularly as yet. Finally, a debating club has been instituted by E. R. Lewis...
