The current number of the Advocate through maturity of treatment and variety of theme is unusually good. The leading editorial--on criticism--by neglecting the precaution of premising its definition of good criticism and over-looking the fact that, besides the destructive, there is an appreciative criticism often as illuminating as the work itself, falls into the error of condemning the good for the sins of the bad. The second editorial, an appeal to the serious minded for a right understanding of the "College butterfly," is very seasonable. The longer contributions are all in prose with one exception, "The Two Wreaths," a poem in three stanzas, delicate in thought and unfaltering in rhythm. "Philanthropists Unwitting" would read better if it were not curiously reminiscent of an earlier story of similar plot where a sacred volume interleaved with money is treated instead of as here "Elementary Aesthetics." "A February Catastrophy," by its lively dialogue and adherence to college life, is vivid and thoroughly humorous. "The Brisis," a travesty on "The Crisis," is a very successful piece of satire. "The Night Watches," in structure and arrangement of climax, is similar to the better work of Poe, and deserves praise. It has a unique style, not often met with in undergraduate work.
