The cover and centre-page drawings are what one is apt to look at first in the Lampoon, and instinctively to hold as the criterion of merit in judging the number as a whole. In the Yale game issue the cover drawing is a good illustration of a clever and pertinent idea, while the centre page drawing, though in part rather careless and crude in technique, is effective as a whole and symbolizes well what everyone is thinking today--"Who will win?" The first editorial is unusually good, and the second, more serious in tone than the ordinary Lampoon editorial, is a forceful statement and reminder of that deeper, more quiet sentiment which is the spirit of Harvard and underlies the cheering and singing and shouting which are the superficial manifestations of this spirit; the earnestness of the editorial makes it strong, though at times it carries it too far--into a somewhat censorious criticism of the noisier form of enthusiasm.
The lesser jokes and pictures in the number are generally good, and seem to show that the Lampoon, even though somewhat at the expense of recent numbers, has been saving its best products to advantage.
