...best yet" means a great deal as applied to the theatricals of the Pi Eta Club, and yet it is a verdict pronounced with emphasis by those who saw the first public performance of "Robin the Robber" last night. The play has every element of originality, wit, and sustained action that makes a musical comedy good instead of mediocre--or worse. If there is one weakness which has characterized many previous plays of the club, it is the lack of a substantial basic plot. One cannot criticise the present production upon that ground. The music is well written; several...
...class banquets or smokers. My interpretation of the purpose of a class gathering may be unfounded but I hold it to be true that such functions should be representative of the best opinion in the class. As long as some men consider beer to be an essential element in a class banquet, other men, being conscious of certain individual and social consequences from the use of alcoholic liquors, cannot give this expression of class activity their hearty or loyal support.

...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 of shameful. The CRIMSON is not going to "urge" men to enter this work. It feels...
...will be held in Phillips Brooks House at 8 o'clock. The purpose of the meeting is to show what results can be obtained in the work and of what benefit are the efforts of the workers. Several prominent men in service among Boston's poor and foreign-born element will point out opportunities and needs in that field; and other work, such as boys clubs, and entertainment for settlement houses, will be described by students...
