...other hand, some indications that men are beginning to look over their wall. One of these is the Harvard Magazine, the second number of which has just appeared. At last, praise be, a single publication has ventured to invite to its columns the whole university, instructors as well as students, Radcliffe as well as Harvard, and to discuss other than purely academic interests. Therefore, it is seven times welcome, and if in so new an essay it makes mistakes--as it surely will--seventy times seven to be forgiven. Its editors can well afford to laugh (and incidentally watch their...
...criticism and at the same time finds a real critics. Mr. Fletcher Smith, in the first number modestly concealed as J. F. S., not only loves real plays (not the t. b. m.'s diversions) and good, acting but knows them when he sees them. Evidently he has been well trained, has gone much to the play, read widely, and studied the work of real actors seriously essaying the same parts,--in short, he is laying broad and sound foundations for a career as a critic. We take off our hat: if some day Mr. Smith, in a metropolitan chair...
Again we rejoice; we have poetry. In these days of what Dean Briggs has well denominated "shredded prose", when polyphonic profaners of poesy, forgetful that modern plumbing has made sanitation synonymous with seclusion and solitude are luxuriously disclosing the soapy rites of their bathtubs, it is refreshing to find that among college writers of verse, usually the most imitative of new notes and squawks, some still realize that beauty is truth, truth beauty.

Mr. Davidson although we early guess half of the denouement of his romance, nevertheless surprises us with the other half, and throughout the whole tale gives joyously vivid pictures of a West, not yet, we hope, wholly departed. His characters are alive, and the wind blows. In Balked Mr. Raffalovich burlesques certain modern fads, but such fads, even in burlesques, are worth neither the expenditure of Mr. Raffalovich's gifts nor the time of the paper maker...
Over 100 registration cards for the Freshman Red Book have not yet been filled out and turned in. It is very important that all these cards be handed in at once as the book will go to press not later than May 1, and all copy must be in well before that date. Any man who thinks he ought to be in the book, but who has not received a card, should speak to J. B. Fleming '22, at Gore...
