...latest issue of the Monthly is eminently readable. There is much in it of interest, value and entertainment. Above all there seems to be an absence of the apparently overpowering critical instinct which so pervades most numbers--little recourse, in fact, to antedeluvian poets or appreciations of literature which but for the efforts of the writer, would probably never, be unearthed. The first article particularly the "Ph.D. Octopus," by William James, strikes one as being vital and altogether human. The statement that only a man of evident native power is now allowed to receive the degree, and that...
...February issue of the Lampoon seems in places to be below the high standard set by several issues, but on the whole is rather amusing.

They seem to be a collection of verses, made up of queerly arranged sentences, and over highly colored similes. Many of the passages are vague, while others are absolutely unintelligible...

There are scarcely any new features, and the extension to the table of contents of the attempt to condense the book has resulted in a decided curtailment of usefulness. A number of organizations that would seem to deserve a place are omitted, and the lists of members of athletic teams are rendered of little use by the omission of initials. Carelessness in proof reading added to the other faults makes this edition a not very creditable copy of its predecessors...
