...after-death pathology. The materialistic nature of future suffering is drawn with a realism at times absolutely repulsive. This article will, perhaps, be the one most interesting to the readers. Its effect upon the mind is a strange mixture of psychological curiosity and mental disgust. From this we turn with satisfaction to the translation from de Musset by Mr. Santayana. The poetical powers of Mr. Santayana might, perhaps, be questioned, when he handles that most dangerous of all compositions, the philosophical sonnet, but here they cannot be. The translation is peculiarly happy, and evidences no low order of poetical talent...
...does not seek after some of this "national fame" which has so deservedly come to Johns Hopkins. If Harvard undertook to publish the meritorious works of her graduates, there can be no doubt that those Harvard men, who have hitherto gone to Johns Hopkins with their writings, would gladly turn to their alma mater. We can hardly conceive of any move that would give a greater impulse to advanced study in Harvard circles than the publication of "Harvard University studies in Historical and Political Science."

The picture is almost tantalizing. We leave the editorials and turn to the contributed articles...
...obliging him to retire to the gymnasium in order to make a change. These were the only serious accidents of the game. The feature of the game was a remarkable play by the Yale endrush, who, catching the ball with skill which would have made Nausicaa and her maids turn green with envy, run with the speed of a winged Mercury toward Harvard's goal, at the same time displaying to full advantage, a row of pearl-like teeth, and a beautiful pair of side whiskers, through which the gentle zephyrs softly whistled as he proudly bore his treasure down...
