...article, "Mr. Higginson and the Boston Orchestra," which is a review of a book by M. A. DeWolfe Howe '87, "The Boston Symphony Orchestra; an historical sketch," Owen Wister '82 shows a much better sense of the fitness of things than he did in his stroy Philosophy 4, by which he is known, and I fear unfavorably, to most undergraduates. His style is intimate and lively and his enjoyment of the book in question, and of books and music in general so keen and so apparent that we can almost forgive him for his college story...
...Putnam's dramatic sketch is more ambitious--he attempts "atmosphere," in a very familiar medium. The resulting impression of music and moonlight is delicate and pleasing, though a trifle thin...
...Benjamin Apthorp Gould Fuller Prize for the best dramatic sketch in one act, has been awarded to B. A. G. Fuller '00! The prize consisted of a five dollar gold piece, and it was awarded by Dr. Fuller of the Philosophy Department who acted as judge. He congratulated the author in a few well-chosen words.

"When the Suspenders Came Off," a seasonal sketch, by Mr. Ben Sion Trynin, is the largest piece of fiction in this Monthly. It has the makings of a good story, but it is rather rough in workmanship and not always of crystal clearness. The bit of verse following, "From a Warm Room," one is uncertain whether to take seriously or humorously. After this...
...next page which contains the brief "By the Ways" would be hopeless were it not for a clever review of "As you like it," in jingling rhyme by J. Garland '15. A charcoal sketch by H. Moise follows, and is quite the most finished bit of work in the number. Lampy takes a fling at Life, and its "poor little kids in the snow," in its center page, T. Sizer '16 and a full-page by H. F. Weston '16, although levity on such themes is not to be encouraged. H. F. Weston '16 has other characteristic drawings...
