When the Student Council was organized in 1908, one of its first undertakings was to investigate vague reports of irregularity in certain so-called "Harvard Publications." The investigation, which was conducted very quietly, revealed that the Harvard Club Book and the Harvard Register, two books issued durthe the course of the school year, were being used by individuals to obtain money from Boston merchants. The business men were prevailed upon to advertise in these books with the promise that in this manner they would succeed in getting the bulk of the student trade. These publications, they were informed, came...
...business consisted in amending certain by-laws, fixing the official standing of the soccer teams for this year, picking an all-American intercollegiate team, and arranging next year's schedule. Four men on the University team were picked for the all-American, the complete line-up being as follows: g., Nichols of Harvard; r.b., Barron of Harvard; l.b., Dickey of Yale; r.h., McCall of Harvard; c.h., T. Elkinton of Haverford; l.h., Davis of Cornell; r.o.f., Needham of Harvard; r.i.f., Watson of Pennsylvania; c.f., Shanholt of Columbia; l.i.f., Stokes of Haverford; l.o.f., Zoller of Columbia...

...number of poems and a jaunty, not to say fresh, review of a new book on "Faust". The poems all have sincerity, imagination and force, but as sometimes happens in undergraduate verse, they are not all crystal clear. Mr. Nathan's "Death", after three or four readings conveys a certain sense of vastness but very little more; Mr. Cummings's "Sonnets", too, full of fancy as they are, defy a close search for the meaning. "Sas Agapo", by Mr. Reinhard, is clear enough, on the other hand, but a little thin. The best poem in the number is Mr. Thayer...
...students over seventeen years of age and physically qualified who volunteer will be allowed to participate in the instruction under certain provisions. Their attendance at camp must be for the entire period unless complied by actual necessity to leave. They must submit to the rules and regulations of military discipline. They must bear the expenses of transportation to and from camp the cost of uniforms--two pairs of breeches, kaki, hat, leggins, shirt (about $7.66 per man)--and subsistence (about $1.75 per week). The government supplies free of charge, cots, blankets, tentage, cooking outfits, a complete infantry equipment for each...
