There can be no question that the current Illustrated is the best number of the year. Notwithstanding the minor faults,--among which I would place the occasional faults in the composition mentioned above, the use of full-page cartoons, which seem rather flippant and cheap for a serious college pictorial, and the glaring double-page "ad" in the exact centre of the paper,--the issue is very creditable.
