...disturbances which have characterized the lectures in one of the large Sophomore courses during the last few weeks recall to some of us our school days, when any childish amusement was preferable to paying attention to the teacher. Apparently there are still many "college men" who are strongly addicted to the puerile habit of stamping. As a means of expressing approval or disapproval of what a lecturer says, the use of a pair of large and hardy feet (organs indispensable in many emergencies) is absurd. Men of impulsive natures with frequent and acute temptations to stamp in lectures, should practice...
...member of last year's Student Council, the CRIMSON'S palaver over the powers and method of ratification of the new Council seems childish in the extreme. The old Council was organized in good faith to carry out the undergraduate part of an agreement with the Faculty regarding athletic regulation; its demise was a lamentable repudiation of its responsibilities; and its resurrection is absolutely necessary if the Faculty is to be given a square deal.

At the end of this week the University baseball team and the track team have two of their most important contests, and the crew has been in strict training for many weeks...
...current Advocate, in which Incident is the motive, the suspended interest is admirably maintained. Mr. Schenck's "Paper Chase" Mr. Tinckom Fernandez's "Necessary Child," and Mr. Morgan's "Hongkong to New York," alike leave us not only with a desire for more, but with a certain childish resentment against those authors for not telling us what "happened" afterwards. Mr. Millet's "Book Agent" is too incomplete even for an Incident. Something ought to "happen" in the very briefest sketch. While the American book peddler is described with an effective sense of fun, his Irish colleague is not convincing...
