The current number of the Lampoon begins with a timely and sensible editorial on the old College bell. It shows a creditable fairness in spirit, and goes directly to the heart of the question. The illustrations are only passable, with the exception of the cover, which is well executed and suggests the drawings of DuMaurier. The centre piece is not particularly amusing and as an illustration is rather flat and spiritless. The best of the poems is a parody on the "Psalm of Life," witty and cleverly carried out, but too late to be very effective. The short jokes and stories are pointed, almost without exception.
The number is accompanied by an index to all articles and illustrations which appeared between October, 1899, and March, 1900.
