Professor Emerson '71 has written for the magazine a sketch of the life and work of the late Charles Carroll Everett, Dean of the Divinity School. The paper tells much of Dr. Everett's work which is not generally known, and cannot but be most satisfactory to his many friends. The sketch is accompanied by an excellent picture of Dr. Everett...
...after the first page. The effort to introduce more of the college element into college stories, however, is commendable and does much toward making it acceptable to undergraduate readers. "From Oxford to Henley-on-Thames," by F. R. Dickinson '03, is pleasantly written, but drags toward the end. A sketch by F.R. Dubois '01 entitled "Stuttering Steve's Hard Luck" is cleverly told without too much circumstance. R. W. Ruhi '03 has a somewhat unusual story in "The Original Girl." There is not much substance for so long a piece, but the bits of description incidentally thrown in are wonderfully...

The chief value...
...stories in the present number are hardly as good as those in the last. "Duck-Shooting," a sketch by F. R. Dickinson, is an attempt at word painting. The plot of "A Stranger in a Strange House" by Roy Pier, is a familiar one and the writing seems rather mechanical in places. G. S. Franklin's story, "Was it an Hallucination?" is told in a convincing way and moves steadily from beginning to end. The best piece in the number is "Hank Peters' Code," by F. R. DuBois. Aside from being a clever character study, it shows a thorough knowledge...
