...Monthly is very fortunate in having among its editors such a keen-eyed traveler as is Arminius. We who read the paper can only hope that he traveled far and wide if he can give us glimpses of other countries as vivid as that of Sicily in the current number. And as Arminius has succeeded in giving us landscape, so V. W. Brooks '08 in his essay "The Daemon of Poetry" has given us what perhaps is more unusual, a suggestion of the visions that are sometimes granted to our prosaic souls and that are the life of poets...

...from the mouths of others, yet well fitted in his effective and picturesque speech; and in his peculiar handwriting which almost constituted a new alphabet, yet which was consisitently a law unto itself and as legible as other current script when its letters were once learned; and in his vivid perception of the rich variety of the world about him, in which like an impressionist he saw bright colors unseen by duller eyes. He was the friend and advocate of the students in his charge rather than a prosecuting officer of the University, and it was always more his wish...
