EVENING POST'S College Man's Number This week's issue-date of October 28. THE SPIRIT OF THE NORTH The Spirit of the North is a Columbia story. It chronicles the adventures of an ill-assorted trio of professors (a young man, a young woman, and a cantankerous old lady) who penetrate the unexplored wilderness of British America. They meet with a series of strange adventures, and encounter the hostile Spirit of the North which ever resents the endeavors of men to fathom her secrets. By ROBERT W. CHAMBERS THE GREAT COLLEGE-CIRCUS FIGHT The author of Princeton Stories and The Stolen Story here tells the tale of a famous hand-to-hand encounter between Princeton students and the cowboys of a passing Wild-West Show, and records the exploits of the Captain of the Eleven, who stayed out of the fight but was in at the finish. By Jesse Lynch Williams THE COLLEGE DAYS OF OUR GRANDFATHERS An informing and entertaining sketch of things as they were in our American Colleges when the century was young and the leading American University was but one-tenth of its present size. By Thomas Wentworth Higginson THE LAST FIVE YARDS This is the cleverly told romance of a broken engagement, some broken bones, and a Pennsylvania football victory that sets all right. It is from the pen of the author of Pennsylvania stories. By Arthur Hobson Quinn IN TRAINING TO BE ADMIRALS Some humorous reminiscences of student days at the United States Naval Academy, with personal anecdotes of men who have since become famous naval officers, told by a graduate. By Cyrus Townsend Brady Prince Protococoff and the Press Club In this little comedy of Cambridge student life the author of Harvard Episodes has produced a story whose irresistible humor, keen satire, and accurate portrayal of University Types combine to set up a new standard of excellence in College Fiction. It is the story of a mythical club, invented by a practical joker for the purpose of luring a visiting lion away from the hospitalities of a bona-fide association.
