...drawn pictures, are to be found in the latest Lampoon. The drawings, with exception of the picture on the centre page, besides being carelessly executed, have a monotony of style which may be attributable to the fact that all the work in this department has been done by a small number of men.

American colleges differ widely from each other in the class of men predominating in their student bodies. In one college the great majority of the men come from small and ill-equipped schools, while in another an equally large proportion come from the large and strong schools. It is almost impossible to formulate any one set of examinations which will satisfy the requirement of all these colleges and apply with equal justice to the various classes of men divided...
