...Baker in a short narrative, gives evidence of weakness in handling, but on the whole tells the story of the compact between Robespierre and Barere clearly and with some enthusiasm. The editorials contain an exegisis of pessimism, which has a slightly familiar sound. Mr. Clymer contributes a concise review of Dr. Gummere's "Handbook...
...opponents of the consolidation are, as has been said, the principal undergraduates. Their objections seem to be sound from an undergraduate point of view.

This is a question intimately related to every student, and deserves our earnest consideration. The principal disputants are able speakers, and will undoubtedly present sound and convincing arguments. Of course a question of this nature will naturally provoke strong ideas for and against it. But no unbiased opinion can justly be formed without hearing a fair statement of all sides of the question. We trust that the students will avail themselves of this opportunity to express...
