...page, setting up housekeeping once more with the help of all the family, reflecting on life in general, introduced to the Dean by Mamma's thoughtful letter. The Office again has the centre of the stage, showing faces old and new. Again we are compelled to loiter By the Way and perhaps to wonder it Lampy in one respect at least might not with advantage break with tradition and give us some cuts in his course on Puns, or hand over that line of work to the department which for the first time offers Arkaeology 1: A History...
...there is another side--the social side--which should not be ignored. However strongly we may oppose making the dormitory a unit in University life, it cannot be denied that it is desirable that men living in the same dormitory should become acquainted with each other in some natural way.

But the dialogue is well-managed, and the incident is only too true to life. Mr. Carlo...
...like Mr. C. H. Dickerman's "The Haunted Palace" could only be regarded as successful through the excellence of its technique. But the writer allows himself too much license to claim any triumph of this kind. Whenever the thought presses against the limits of the verse, the verse gives way and changes its form. This is hardly playing the game...
