...description of the outside of the new building. Each separate room is then described and information about the various casts and drawings given in detail. The article is illustrated by excellent cuts of the Hall of Casts, of the freehand drawing room, and of the library, and by a sketch of the old architectural building. Next in the number is printed in full the lecture on "Illuminating Gas," delivered before the Engineering Society last November by Mr. W. E. McKay. The last article on "Storage Batteries," by P. W. Davis A.B. '93, S.B. '95, describes some of the mechanical...
...student rumination, clever, but not over-skillful. "The Leisure that Makes Men," is evidently a new departure into the light essay field long ago made agreeably famous. "The Story of the Man who Sat in the Stocks," by Ezra Kidd, is perhaps as powerful and well told a sketch as needs be expected from an undergraduate pen. By far the best story in the number is "George: the Second Ghost," by E.R. Little. This glimpse of true humor, seems to us to be rather near to an ideal Advocate story...
...which was published last year for the first time, will be ready this year about June 12. C. J. Swan '01 is the managing editor and E. W. Mills '02 and R. P. Benedict '03 assistant editors. The book will be similar to last year's, containing a short sketch of the College life of each man in the class, the history of the crew, football, baseball, and track teams by the four captains; an account of the lacrosse hockey and cricket teams by L. P. Frothingham '02; the literary history of the class by P. W. Thomson...
...leading article is "A History of Engineering at Harvard University" by Assistant Professor J. L. Love. It presents in detail a sketch of engineering instruction at the University and gives an account of the progress of the Lawrence Scientific School from its origin in 1847 down to the present day. The steady growth of the department during these years, necessitating wider instruction and new equipment, is clearly shown. The next is on "Pierce Hall" by Professor Hollis. After showing the need which there was for a large building to carry on the work of the Scientific department, he gives...
...numerous. All are short; most are interesting. The "Wonderful Story of the Green Bag," by R. W. Page '03, is mysterious and thoroughly amusing. "The Romancer," by C. J. Hambleton '04, seems a trifle drawn out, as its plot is slight; but one can easily forgive, for the sketch is well written. Less can be said for "The Misogynists," by L. B. Stowe and "The Sleep-Walker," by G. B. Fernald '03. Both are of romantic trend, but neither is very literary or life like. "Le Petroleur," by E. R. Little '04, is written in a style which aims...
