Phillip W. Thayer in "A Transfigured Julia" gleefully hits off the capricious changes of fashion in girls: "Lissome Julia anatomically slight," "Robust Julia, playing golf and swimming harder," Suffrage Julia "prances in the [poet's] limelight." Witter Bynner is not up to his poetic form in "Though Wisdom Dies." Wisdom is a theme which cannot be completely developed in two short stanzas nor can imagination be "uncurled small as forget-me-nots." The characteristics of the verse of this number are cleverness, insight, a sure, light touch, and a sense of the sober humor of the contrasts of life...
...remedy where they do occur. The Division of History, Government, and Economics is well equipped, through its system of tutors, to correlate thesis work, to allow doubling up, to see to it that a student does a few good theses well rather than a large number in a slipshod fashion.

But Mr. Mansfield is entirely right in insisting that the tradition of our college is to preserve individuality. "What we are concerned with, particularly at Harvard, where we are the defenders of the faith, is to maintain what individuality we have, and to encourage more...
...team work and better passing the Freshmen carried the play into their opponents' territory, where it remained almost continually during the remainder of the contest. The first period closed with the Freshmen 1 goal to their credit. In the second half the 1919 men started off in a whirlwind fashion and scored four goals before play ended. The star playing of the Freshmen was done by Merrill and Phinney, each of whom scored two goals and took a conspicuous part in the aggressive play of the team. Platt made the other tally for the Freshmen, while Wells at goal...
