The volume is larger this year
than usual, and from the avoirdupois
standpoint is the best that has ever
been issued It contains 240 pages,
besides a lot of advertising. The
book is dedicated to Senator Ellins,
and among a lot of other good things
has full page picture of him. A
good lot of advertising is carried,
and all things considered the book
should be a financial success.
The opening pages are devoted to
the faculty, the name of every mem
Der with his or her medal Inscription
being given The Senior Class IS
treated generously with an indiyid
ual picture of and record of honors
that would not look bad on tomb
stone. Some OF the "honors' men
toned are worthy Of remembering.
One young man POUNDS his hope of
future greatness on the fact that he
is wee president of the Parthenon
Literary Society, and chairman OF
the Missionary Committee Of the !.
M. G. A.
The fraternities and classes are
treated in good shape, and are given
a generous portion OF the book.
Each frat has full-page picture
of the roll Of active chapters, and
and the membership here The
memorials to the dead are a new
feature worthy Of note.
The Athletic department is little
bit short. There is no picture Of
this years base ball or football
teams, and for some reason or other,
none of the records in track athlet
les are given
Literature" is the title given to
one section of the book including
about so pages. This may be just
and appropriate title. 1t is to be
hoped some one will read it and find
out. There is poetry by Tucker
Brooke, Sarah Waugh johnson and
others, and short stories by Brooke,
Albig, and anonymous writer's too
modest to claim their productions.
The best of the book is lett to tile
last. Over 40 pages are devoted to
roasts and grinds, and most every
body gets a little attention. For
instance there is hie-size portrait
of Dean Frazer, peacefully feeding
the Lambs and well displayed ad,
which says that Ajax Hare will
register props at 81 so per capita.
Some Of the jokes are rather raw,
most of them, of course, are only
funny to those who know the par
ties. However, there are several
bright things which will go any
place.
On the whole, the Montlcola this
year, 8 an interesting and entertain
ing volume throughout, and a book
that every student of the University
should want. 1t reflects credit upon
the editors and also upon the Uni.
versity.
