One is always interested in the first number of a college magazine produced by a new board of editors: it usually indicates the character of later issues. To judge from the present specimen, readers of the Advocate for the rest of the year may expect to find there each fortnight a few suggestive editorial notes, in the discussion of which undergraduates may find occasion to sharpen their wits, several short stories calculated to suit varying tastes but never dull, and some bits of verse which should not be analyzed too closely.
"Larry of Ballycracket" by K. B. Townsend '08 is an engaging tale, pleasantly fresh and genial. "The Irony of the Office," by A. Whitman '09 is unexpectedly effective at the end, and one re-reads the story to discover that this effect is on the whole well-planned. "The Crafty Mrs. Carton," by E. B. Sheldon '08, despite its hackneyed theme, is marked notably by wit and artistic restraint. "A Sermon for Lent, by F. Schenck '09, is original, thoughtful, and pointed. "Romola," by H. Powel, Jr., '08, shows narrative power in the writer, but needs revision. As has been hinted above, however, none of the verse in the number deserves particular praise.
