...matter of fact, its area and position are inexactly known, because, no doubt, it varies in extent. It consists of seaweed assembled in that very mild sort of eddy which is developed by the Gulf Stream on the one side and by the Equatorial Current on the other. Similar aggregations of weeds, though smaller in extent, exist under like conditions in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The weeds, however, are not dense.

Mr. Finley returns to his former suavely acid insinuations, and quite convinces us that the entire Workshop affair is after all, merely another absurd and inconsequential eddy in the comic stream that college is. Hugh Whitney's "Ballad", next in order, is exquisitely done and comment seems superfluous Whitney Cromwell unleashes the ironic whiplash of his tongue in "The Salesman", and Charles Allen Smart, in the last of the four distinctly good things in the number, presents a vivid picture in "Exploration...
