...adventures and character of an exploring botanist. "The March Inland," by Albert de Roode, written in the form of extracts from a diary, vividly describes the scenes in the American lines about Santiago; one gets a real glimpse of the experience the army went through in Cuba. "McGullop's Slide," a character sketch with rather a skilful climax, and "Mrs. Johnson's Triumph," by G. B. Fernald, are the other stories in the issue. The editorial, on "College Spirit," treats with effectiveness a very old subject which is, nevertheless, still worth writing about...
