...buildings. How much space do you think would be rented in that building? What would you think of that architect? I will not give your answer out loud. But do you realize that those who have been responsible for the planning and building of our modern cities might with equal justification be characterized in the same manner? That is just the theory--the theory of the hypothetical architect--upon which most of our modern cities are being planned and constructed today. We are planning and constructed today. We are planning our cities only with foot transit streets because such streets...
...famous "Blue Boy" can be seen in his protrait of Count Rumford, recently bequeathed to the University. Anyone who wishes to know the works of art of some of these great men can do so in a much shorter time than it is possible to become acquainted with an equal number of the masterpieces of literature or music...
...Technology was able to take only four first places, and all of the winners, Bawden, Dandrow, MacMahon, and Spitz, are now ineligible for the team. Moreover the Tech yearlings last year were none too strong. As a result, the teams that will meet on Saturday seem to possess almost equal strength.

Pierce, captain of the 1920 Tech track team...
...University is not as strong in the two new events; the javelin and discus throws; as early season results predicted, so it is doubtful if the Crimson athletes will equal Tech's score here.

Finally, in the javelin Tonon of Tech is expected, by many who have watched him in action, to win the event, Greenidge of the University is ruling favorite for second, while the third place is more or less of a toss-up between Kernan...
...there has also been discrimination, or a tendency to discriminate, between departments. Men in one department have been exempted from the routine of a course, while those in another have not. It there is justification for this discrimination, in that all of the divisional examinations are not of equal difficulty, plainly the fact is far from the theory. If, on the other hand, all divisionals in fact as well as in theory, have the same value, then such discrimination is unfair, detrimental to the prestige of the examinations, and to the ideal of those who introduced the tutorial system...
