...interest in all college societies has greatly decreased as a result of the one overshadowing event which claims our attention. So far as the quality of the work is concerned there may not be very much difference between these days and those prior to the war, but on the whole, I think it may be said that there is not so much evidence of good scholarship today as there was under happier conditions...

Let them stop to take thought, lest unwittingly they be doubly disloyal...
Apart from the editorials, this Advocate is divided between four short stories, an article on "Tea Drinking," and thirteen pieces of verse. Of this the prose on the whole is less important than the verse. The light, little, rambling essay on "Tea Drinking," by Mr. Alfred Putnam, has good comment and observation, but it seems less spontaneous than other contributions of the same author to the Advocate. The four short stories are all very short, with the exception of "The Shadow of Death," by Mr. Emerson Low. This is a story that catches and holds the attention, a story...
