...great service comes in making a man do one thing at a given time--or we should say, it offers a man one thing to do at a given time. Not that a man can run his affairs on an exact schedule; that is humanly impossible. But--to borrow an illustation from Dean Briggs--if a man has a class at 10 o'clock and another at twelve, it is of great importance to know before-hand just what he is going to do at 11 o'clock. Otherwise his time during that hour is likely to be wasted...
...English 47a is a course for graduates from English 47 and is more advanced. The enthusiasm of both the actors and those interested in the allied arts of the stage is greater this year than ever before. Though still existing under the same disadvantages as last season, having to borrow from Radcliffe what it cannot get here in the University, namely stage, auditorium, and storage space, the 47 Workshop is resuming its unique work with renewed vigor. The departments of acting, costuming, scene painting, stage designing and lighting are being organized on a larger scale the year and everything points...
...regards another phase which combines health and finances, Professor Cavanaugh's ideas may be applied to Harvard more serially.

Self-centered conceit is another dominant characteristic of the Chinese. They have an innate feeling that they are superior to other nations in every respect. They regard their civilization as exclusively their own, and have never wanted to borrow anything from outside. Again, China's evolution has been very slow--so slow that hasty observers have made the mistake of thinking that it has never changed at all. It has undergone great transformations, however, for there was once a time when it had no silk, tea, rice, pagodas, or any of the things which are typical of China today...
...cannot afford ten dollars all at once may be able and willing to spend several dollars each year on interesting and enlightening lectures. The man who can afford ten dollars but does not consider it his duty or advantage to become a member and who will borrow a ticket if that is the only way, will be willing to pay an admission fee several or many times during the year. There is only one real objection to this plan. Will it not decrease membership? It seems to us that students join the Union for one of two reasons: either because...
