...Committee is sending out a letter to every club suggesting that all meetings be arranged for Tuesday evenings. Though some clubs will probably find this impossible, if it can be put into general effect it will serve two ends: First, club meetings will not sap the audiences from lectures, concerts and the like; and second, undergraduates will find it easier to keep straight their engagements.

For further information in regard to the proposed plan, see the Chairman of the Committee on Organizations...
Competition between the Schools of Applied Science of Technology and Harvard has never been intentionally cutthroat, but its effect, nevertheless, has been to lower the efficiency of each institution in the field of science. That rich phrase, reduplication of effort, has always pointed an accusing finger at the obvious waste of rival educational institutions serving the same community.

The detestable smugness of the Pastor's household is realistically described, and the only wonder is that Kendall did not find his way to the white--or should we say the red--lights sooner. The story...
