The most noticeable issue of the Advocate which appears today is the large number of new contributors.

Mr. R. T. French contributes as the long story of the number an article entitled How Jack Saved the Manager. The story is interesting but might better have been put into half the space it occupies.

"On the Florida Coast" by A. H. Williams is an exciting description of an adventure with smugglers. The details of the story are decidedly well worked out.

Two short and very slight stories, entitled "Letter Writing" and "The Force of Circumstances," written by A. W. Weysse and C. T. Page, respectively, together with the anonymous account of "A Lamp Dicker," make up the prose of the number. The story of the "Lamp Dicker" shows keen appreciation of a character common enough in college and out of it, and contains several very felicitous phrases.

In poetry the present number of the Advocate is especially strong. Mr. S. C. Brackett's "Song of the Night" is the most effective bit of verse that has appeared in the Advocate for a long time. "Eleanor," by J. H. Boynton, is pretty and musical. Hardly as much can be said for the "Bye and Bye," of Mr. George Chapman.

The principal editorial of the number very sensibly points out that an introduction of the hotel system at Memorial next year would make club tables an impossibility, and seriously detract from the advantages of the hall as a boarding place. Other editorials are concerned with the interscholastic football league, the standing of special students in the Law School, the graduate department and the summer schools.
