...with Mr. Brook's writing of last year, this retains the valuable part of his subtlety and delicacy of expression, and shows a desirable gain in clearness of outline and definition of thought, even if the style is not yet quite natural. J. L. Warren's the Crush" is somewhat conventional; F. Schenck's "The Pall of the Wild" is cleverly named, and, like R. M.

President Eliot said he himself held a somewhat different view; namely, that he considered the secular universities the best for all.
