...current issue of the Advocate appears with one delightful feature in advance over its predecessors of this year in that it is especially strong in well-written prose; a form of writing which seems to be either neglected or hastily executed by most collegians of today. The poetry of this paper has a justly earned reputation, but a great many of us are decidedly unwilling to see verse reign supreme in any periodical, so the present number may be hailed with delight...
...poetry of the current issue is of more or less the respectable type; conventional and imitative, and greatly overshadowed by the prose contributions. W. A. Norris '18, however, has written a sonnet which would escape the brunt of the foregoing remark. "In Dawn" contains some very lovely lines. The vers libre of B. P.

...actual supervision of the students reported to the committee has been delegated to the secretary. He has conferred with almost every student who has been reported, and by examining with the student specimens of his written work has tried to discover the nature of his mistakes and the cause of his difficulties. So many cases have been based on hastily written class-room tests and examinations, rather than on work done at leisure, that a great deal of bad English has been due to mere carelessness and lack of revision. In such cases it has seemed only fair to take...
