The Lampoon.

The last issue of the Lampoon is remarkably good, and its merits are due in common to cover design, illustrations and text. The most striking single contribution is doubtless the picture which occupies the centre pages. It is in details quite out of drawing, and it deals with a theme of which much has been heard. Perhaps one cannot hear too much; at any rate the present picture is no disgrace to its kindred. The number is strongest, however, in the minor contents, which are almost without exception good. Probably the best are the specimen lecture and the Faculty love letter.
