...meeting Tuesday, as well as "Cambridge Town," "No Hope for Yale," and "The Spirit of Harvard," which did not receive a fair trial at the last mass meeting owing to the band's lack of practice. New songs may be written to original tunes, or may be set to familiar tunes whose rhythm and swing make them appropriate football songs. The song or songs meeting with the most success at the mass meetings and at the Dartmouth game will be considered to have won the competition and will be used at the Yale game...

Freshmen are not as a rule as familiar with the nature of the courses open to them as upperclassmen, and it is for that reason that advisors are appointed to assist them in planning their schedules. They should remember, however, that the adviser is intended primarily to help them decide, not to decide for them. A Freshman should have a reasonably clear idea of what he wishes to do, and if he is in doubt about a course which is not within the adviser's department, he should go to one of the men connected with it. By following such...
