...poetry the "Song of the Smithy" by L. W., is one of the most charming bits of verse that has appeared for some time. It is simple in thought and lyrical in form. A sonnet entitled "To E. A. B." is another poem of considerable merit as is also a refreshing little love poem entitled, "Miranda" by R. Pier '03.

This "fable for Freshmen" is full of life, amusing, and all the better for being quite different from the usual run of Advocate verse. "Sunset in Penobscot Bay" by W. B.
