The forth-coming number of the Monthly opens with a paper from Professor Royce entitled: "Originality and Consciousness," an answer to the question "Why is the best human originality an unconscious product?" Professor Royce analyses "our human type of consciousness" with a view to getting at the originating element in our nature, and comes to the conclusion that it is the subconscious drift of our nature, not "consciousness that, in us men, is the originator." The subject of the symposium, which should have been called "Harvard's attitude toward smaller colleges" must strike the average reader as a rather far fetched and simple question to write six pages on. A. D. Sheffield develops the only idea of any originality, and the attitude taken by the editorial might almost be called narrow-mindedly intolerant. The best undergraduate contribution is an unusually thorough criticism of Thomas Hardy by R. P. Utter. Three short stories by T. S. Hardy '99, E. W. S. Pickhardt '98, and P. W. Long '98, with some rather perplexing sonnets by B. Brooks 1900, complete the number.
