...order that the singing of the "Marseillaise" may be as effective as possible, the CRIMSON is printing again the information in yesterday's issue concerning the formation of a white "H" on a crimson background. To make the scheme successful it is necessary that all men in the cheering section be properly provided with handkerchiefs and megaphones. Those who have not yet procured crimson handkerchiefs and megaphones may do so at Holworthy 17 today between 12 and 2.30 o'clock. The price of handkerchiefs is five cents, megaphones fifteen...
...writer of this morning's communication brings to light a deplorable condition of affairs. The white "H" on the red background at the Yale game last year was a feature of the cheering. Surely it requires very little effort on the part of those undergraduates who have seats in the cheering section to assure the success of the plan again this year. The failure of a few to join in vitiates the efforts of all. We have made up our mind that it is worth while to sing the "Marseillaise" on Saturday in the form of a living...

The price of handkerchiefs is five cents, megaphones fifteen...
...Broken Mirror," last of a series of stories of Mme. Saumon's pension on Eliot street, is too obvious in plot and only near-English in style. The tone suggested by the first line, "Dulling their background like two pearls in a cabbage patch," is fortunately not maintained throughout. A sketch, Mr. Skinner's Indian tale "The Love of a Friend," is simple and good. Perhaps the Apache saying which heads it--"Any man can slay an enemy, but only an Apache is brave enough to kill a friend"--anticipates too much the conclusion...
...every cultivated man should be interested in it. The difficulty seems to lie in the question, whether the study of the Bible can be separated from religion. To answer in the affirmative seems like stating a paradox. This fact, however, seems clear: that religion may be left in the background, with the idea of literature in the front. As literature the Bible has an almost universal appeal. Bible classes are not crowded, because every man feels that here the Book is studied not for itself, but as a proof or basis of some creed. Considered by itself, it would awaken...
