The Current Lampoon.

The current number of the Lampoon flavors strongly of the usual mid year topics. The editorial on the "The Mid-Years" is thoroughly common-place. The best contributions are the so-called "Burgessettes," which will be appreciated by those who are familiar with the drawings of Gellett Burgess, for they are amusing and well executed imitations. In contrast to these is the over-worked "Freshman's Night-Mare."

The double page centre picture, representing the new skating rink on Soldiers Field, expresses quite happily the feelings of indignant season ticket holders. A long story entitled "Dicky Bird, Yale Man," just fails of being very good indeed. It is cleverly imagined and skillfully written. But it is much too thin and vague to be appreciated by undergraduate readers.
