...been prepared, by Mr. Noyes and others, to find it good, and unusually good. The technique is not everywhere faultless; but in what poet, save the very greatest, does one find it so? Ask the scholars. The point of view is prevailingly the point of view of youth; but it is not anywhere naif, or impertinent, or pseudo-cynical. The literary vices of youth are miraculously absent. The tone is curiously sustained, too, without monotony; as if the contributors had been real collaborators, such brothers-in-blood' as have sprung up, all along the way, in English and French literature...

The decorations though simple, were so artistically arranged that the usually cold, stone corridors and be-news-papered lounging rooms seemed converted into a veritable fairyland of youth and gaiety.
