...gross canard. The Senate's mumps did not exist outside of the irresponsible pages of The Club-Fellow. Senator Joe Robinson had, it was true, a bronchial cold which kept him from his seat for five days. Senator Johnson, too, was briefly indisposed. But both were quite unmumped. Persons with respect for Senators viewed the gossip-swollen Club-Fellow with alarm. The sheetlet's irresponsibility was further revealed by its evident confusion of the Senate's two Robinsons. Still talking about "Senator Joe Robinson" The Club-Fellow said: "At any rate they [mumps] have kept Robinson quiet...
...explain how that regime came to exist is to recall the three principal White Russian Commanders whom the Allies had previously put in the field against Red Russia. One army struck North from Estonia under General Nikolai Nicholaievich Yudenich, who in 1919 advanced until he could see the spires of Petrograd, only to be driven back. A second White Army and Government was dominated by Admiral Alexander Vasilievich Kolchak. In 1919 he advanced from Siberia until he was within 450 miles of Moscow. Later, when he was driven back, he signed a ukase transferring the Siberian Government over which...
...judicial position which time, fortune and fortitude have gained for the Senior, model of 1928, has provoked at least one of them into the immortality of forthright statement. The Advocate for this month quotes him who said that "within thirty years there would exist no Harvard publication run by undergraduates". This conclusion proceeds from evidence that is lively and undeniable from the point of view of fact; the belief that outside activities, athletic and non-athletic, are on the wane at Harvard...
Despite skepticism and indifference, however, the Student Council continues to exist. Last night the 1928-29 Council rounded out its membership to the requisite fifteen and today will assume its functions for the coming year. What those functions are to be, whether they are going to serve a legitimate and useful purpose in the College, or are to become more shadowy, just as the vote has become more scattered, is the most vital question confronting the newly assembled Council members...
Student Councils are already in grave danger of going out of fashion. If they are to become mere shadows of their original selves, functionless and valueless, they cannot expect long to continue in existence. Nowhere does general interest in a Student Council lag as much as at Harvard nowhere are the dangers of that Council's dying a natural death so great. If the Harvard Student Council is to continue to exist and to play an essential part in undergraduate life it must turn its attention with increasing energy and intelligence to those fields which still offer wide opportunities...
