The Lampoon.

Taken as a whole the current number of the Lampoon shows that the Christmas holidays have had a rather demoralizing effect. With the exception of an "Idle Class Day," a take off on the last story in "Harvard Episodes," which is decidedly clever, and a humorous imitation of the CRIMSON'S special notices, the articles and minor jokes are ordinary.

Although the centre page illustration is nothing to be boasted of, two of the other drawings show care and are creditable. Of the verses "Morning Devotion" is entertaining.
