The Advocate.

The 1904 Advocate board has ended its editorial labors with a number commendable for both the variety and quality of its articles. The editorial, on the importance and position of the undergraduate paper, is thoughtfully optimistic in tone, and concludes with dignified reference to the incoming board. "A Novel Experience," by T. Ybarra '05, shows how proper treatment can make a "then-he-woke-up" story entertaining; as does "The Sequel," which in part burlesques "Rupert of Hentzau." A pleasant mixture of English setting and American humor is "My Diary," by J. Hinckley '06. "The Joy of Living," by G. W. D. Gribble Sp., is an interesting and careful study of too often seen characters, who curiously reveal themselves and learn their moral lesson while listening to Sudermann's play. Those who prefer stories that suggest, rather than explain, will enjoy "The Bread of Wickedness," by P. Perkins '05.
