"Stories from the Harvard Advocate."

The new volume of stories from the Harvard Advocate is now on sale at all the bookstores in Cambridge. It is handsomely bound in crimson cloth, rough edges, and is published by Wm. B. Wolffe. This is a collection of forty-eight stories selected from the Advocate from its founding, 1866 to the present day. These stories have been carefully chosen by old editors, Professor G. L. Kittredge, Mr. C. T. Copeland and Mr. C. H. Grandgent. The first few stories are from the earliest writers, E. W. Fox '67, N. G. Peckham '67, and C. S. Gage '67, the founders of the Advocate. Later interesting contributions are from such well-known men as Edward Hale '79, Theodore Roosevelt '80, A. B. Hart '80, Lloyd McKim Garrison '88. Of the stories from the last few years, perhaps the most interesting to the present college generation are "Harvard Types:" first, "The Moody Man," by E. G. Knoblauch '96; "The Paper Sport," by John Mack, Jr., '95; "The College Belle," and "Hollis Holworthy," both by C. M. Flandrau '95.

Other entertaining stories are "For Unknown Reasons," by A. S. Pier '95; "On the Way to Sweet Auburn," by Townsend Walsh '95; "The Sleeping Car," Willis Munro '95; "The Restoration of the Pipes," H. H. Chamberlin '95; "Little Sister," Louis How '95; "God, Man and the Devil," L. W. Mott '96; "On a Paris Omnibus," J. A. Gade '96, "The Law Breaker," by Phillip Richards '96, and "The Wrong Scent," A. C. Train '96. Perhaps no collection of stories has ever been published that so truly represents different phases and characteristics of college life, particularly of Harvard life. The book can not help prove interesting to every college man.
