...writer has described well the absolute separation of the two personalities and their ultimate union through the power of love. The mystery is carried through the story and the clearing up is satisfactory...
...Corner," an answer to Harvard Episodes, is above cleverness. It has a serious intent and contains genuine sentiment. There is no attempt to express more than a small part of the ideal side of Harvard life, but it is an effort in the right direction and well done. The writer of "A Cuban Romance" might have made more of his subject without making his story any longer. The writing is forcible and compelling, however.

Granting that the trick was foolish, granting that it was, meaningless (which would remove the insult), granting that it was too bad to lose the lecture...
