...used the reading room of the Library recently the increase of noisiness on the part of students, over any previous year must be apparent. Until recently there has been some sort of regard for the proprieties of a place where many men are obliged to come for study and research: now, however, there is a continuos undercurrent of talking, tramping of feet and banging of chairs. Nothing is more annoying in such a place than a scuffing of feet, a drum beat on the resonant desk, or a dry episode coming from three benches away. Some communication is necessary...
...flower of rhetoric." In style and treatment, "Conclusions" is good and clever. But it has the tone of the over-done, and throughout it there is constant striving for effect. "The Point of View," by J. G. Cole sC., is a pleasant sketch of a not very ingenious sort. The plot is conventional and the characters are common place. The writer shows an extensive acquaintance with Boston "taverns," and some slight knowledge of girls. In "The Tin Goddess," L. D. Humphrey '01 contributes a story of the expanded daily theme type. "A Serious Question" is a choice bit of realistic...
...virtue of the otherwise inexcusable "club state" which enabled it to hold its own for so long was its intelligence in matters of this sort. Its trial elections weeded out in advance all wasteful short sighted nominations.

And this responsibility can never be lived up to unless the separate members of the Senior class exercise caution and self restraint in making as well as in accepting nominations. If it is too late for the nominators...
...stories, "In the Name of his Ancestor," by W. Jones '00, and "Over the Range," by R. C. Bolling '00, deserve mention. The first is an Indian story told with simplicity and charm, the second is excellent of its sort--that met with most commonly in undergraduate publications--but has no merits above its class. The "Child Verse of Stevenson and Field," by G. H. Montague; 01, contains nothing beyond the obvious. Presumably it is printed because it is well written...
...typical number; but its stores, poems and editorials are all good. The leading contributions, long, carefully arranged and artistically written stories, are a happy exchange for the usual expanded daily themes. "Counterfeiting," by A. H. Gilbert '01, is an ingenuous and amusing little sketch of a somewhat conventional sort. The Hon. Jack Castleton, a shy, weak youth of the "gilded set" and the educated valet are familiar figures; but the writer puts them through their parts with skill and humor. A throughly studied final situation gives the sketch the needed balance...
