Alvaric strode among them with his sword and was not welcomed, being an intruder. From great oaks the coiling ivy rushed down at him and, when he lopped the tendrils the trees themselves moved upon him in a foremost phalanx, forcing him to blaze his trail to the lawns of the palace of Elfland. There he slew the palace guard-four splendid knight whose thick and curious elfin blood was awesome to behold. And Lirazel, the Elf King's daughter, stood among the bluebells and gazed am wondered and loved and went away with Alvaric to the Vale...
Throughout the black squares in Betty's checquered career, she had always, paradoxically, the urge to be "respectable." Though she got no further than the urge, she has graciously left us the record of a colorful ascent, blazing her trail through stiff-necked, whale-oil Providence, through outwardly outraged but inwardly envious New York, through the magnificently indifferent French Imperial Court. She knew the horrors and cruelty of the French Revolution and the chaos of the subsequent Restoration; she mingled with French Royalty, later owned the sapphire coronet Napoleon had placed on Josephine's head and the emerald...
...Western professor arises to point out that it is unnecessary to become alarmed over the excessive intellectualism of our college students.

The time has arrived to organize International competitions in which the working-man and the ordinary citizen who cannot reach the exclusive standard may take part real, thorough-going democratic sport on an adequate scale. It was the spirit of sportsmanship which brought the nations into the war to frustrate the claim of Germany to ride roughshod over the world. The spirit of sportsmanship--fair play for all--alone...
...Advocate has been fortunate enough to obtain verses from Mr. Damon and Mr. Hillyer, and a story from Mr. Boyce. Mr. Hillyer's verses ought never to fall of welcome where poetry is loved; Mr. Damon's two contributions are pleasantly and skilfully turned. Mr. Boyce's "The Trail Beyond", a dramatic story on the difficult theme of intense hate, would gain, we feel, from a simpler and more direct treatment. The effort to suggest the vortex of sensations in the hero's mind, sustained as this effort is from beginning to end, cannot help straining at points. Highly effective...
