We are glad to notice the successful result of the Advocate's enterprise as shown in the last issue. The prize story by Mr. Mitchell, and the prize essay by Mr. Sempers, are certainly productions of very considerable merit. The verse is unusually good, and indeed the only drawback to a complete enjoyment of the number is the fact that Zadoc did not die; perhaps he will be expelled, though, who knows? The editors promise us a rich treat in the next number, marking the completion of the fortieth volume of Harvard's oldest paper. The number will be entirely made up by contributions from former editors, and a glance at the proof sheets show that it will be of unusual interest. The Advocate has now lived for twenty years, and is the only Harvard paper to attain that venerable age. It seems this year that the Advocate has received a new lease of life, and that rivalry has done her good. We wish her twenty more years of success and prosperity.
