...good many Seniors seem to be in doubt as to just what is wanted in the sketch to be written in the pages at the end of the "class life," I should like to explain the purpose of this sketch and try to suggest what it should...
...answers to the questions in the first part of the "lives" form the material for statistics in the class report. The sketch to be written at the end forms no part of the report and is purely optional. The "lives" are kept on file in the College Library, and it is consequently desirable that each man should write a short personal account of himself, that in after years people interested in him may find out his college impressions and his estimate of the significant events of his life and of the influence of those events and surroundings on his character...
Following the frontispiece picture of the late Justice Gray, is a singularly sympathetic sketch of his career in a few pages written by E. R. Thayer '88. There is an instructive account of the contents of the Germanic Museum by Professor Francke and an explanation of the plans for the new music building. Selected topics from the Deans' reports are presented in condensed form. An admirable report of the President's speech at Buffalo accompanies a detailed account of his Western trip. Especially helpful to those who have lately been absent from the University is Student Life--a department conducted...

The narrative is well told, although the scenes depicted seem slightly unnatural. "Pardners," by L. W., although only a short sketch, is the best written article in the magazine. It is clearly told and full of local color, "Rattles Romance," by "Burre," and "Number-Stoughton," by E. R. Little '04, would be more interesting if they were less vague...
