...this work? The war can't be blamed, for that increases, if anything, the desire of active young men to get into service of some kind. Perhaps it is the management of Phillips Brooks House; it may be that those in charge of the work have been a bit imperious and tactless in their attempts to enlist support among the undergraduates. Probably a large element in this lackadaisical attitude on the part of the students is sheer laziness and, overworked word, "indifference". That opportunities to do social service work, that is really service, should be so neglected is nothing short...
...smart trifle, before we reach Mr. Nathan's little essay, "Poetry for Today." An admirable piece of writing in its particular field, it digs deeply enough into the life and philosophy behind poetry to bring out something of the meaning of the lyric art of the world and a bit of a forecast of what that art may become.

However from the present progress of construction it is doubtful whether it will be ready until just before the final game. Quite a bit of sentiment has been aroused against tearing down the field, for it is thought that the old field should be used for daily practice and the minor games...
...University team, though it has been in a bit of a slump for the past week and has dropped games to Penn. and Holy Cross, appears to be the best that Harvard has had for several years, and has won 13 out of 16 games played, losing one game each to Georgetown, Penn. and Holy Cross, but as Harvard had won and earlier game with Georgetown there was an even break with the Washington college. There will be another game both with Penn. and Holy Cross, so there is a chance to even up with those teams...
