The present number of the Advocate is the best which has appeared for some time. The various articles, though perhaps not remarkable for great literary merit, are yet interesting and entertaining; and this virtue would cover more faults than are in the present case apparent. The editorials are particularly good and will attract more than ordinary attention, expressing as they do sentiments which will find favor with a large part of the University. The notice of the readers is in them very well called to the annoyances to which students are in many ways subjected at the hands of intrusive outsiders.

A new department, entitled "The Glimpse," has been introduced. In explanation of its presence a short editorial says, "College life in all its shifting changes should find some expression, and this department will in a manner satisfy that want." The writer of the present "Glimpse" has satisfied the want of a rather circuitous expression of commendation for the work Mr. Copeland is doing toward the development of the literary side of college life.
