The current issue of the Lampoon needs no introduction. It comes to us as an old, old friend, and brings to us tender recollections of days at school, when a pun on "bass bawl" and "base ball," or the confusion of "pane" with "pain" seemed to us as merry as could anything. To speak seriously there are in the number some old and some rather strained jokes.
On the other hand there are a few things as funny as could be desired, and in these spots, moreover, the number is up to date. It deals with the cap and gown; it makes legitimate sport of the parietal committee; and it parodies the latest novel with pronounced success.
Of the remaining contributions "The University at Upernavik," and the "Specimen History I Lecture" are not particularly brilliant.
The illustrations are very fair throughout.
