...official connection with the university it is made up of a majority of Harvard men, and is a Harvard movement in spirit if not in fact. The final hope is for incorporation with the University as a graduate school, a fact which certainly should be considered when passing judgment on this project. The fortunate part of this revival is that it has happened while there is yet time to preserve the tradition of Harvard influence in the American theater...

Harvard is fortunate in having constantly at hand a large number of fine athletes in her graduate schools. If each House...

Hastily constructed standards will have to suffice...
