...protest against the increasing orgies of drunkenness this winter without encountering the charge of a "holier than thou" attitude, of pharisaism, or of prudery, but the chastening words of the one who has done more than any other living man to make Harvard the greatest of American universities find a sympathetic echo in the hearts of hundreds of men whom we believe more truly represent the sentiments of undergraduates than the noisy group who refuse to see the beam in their own eye, and the reply of whose champion is only in truth a corroboration of Dr. Eliot's criticisms...
...experienced this year in obtaining a sufficient number of suitable waiters for Memorial Hall, and the noticeable decline in patronage, as compared with the days before the war, both suggest that some change in the dining system might be desirable for next year.

We ought not only to assign Senior advisors but to give them credit when they have earned credit, honors when they have earned honors, and to make them feel that they are real members of the University...
...perhaps find it hard to summon mentally and definite, unmistakable plot which we can thumb. The play is too rapid a frolic for that. And its plot is a bewildering melange of characters and incidents, as episodic carnival rather than a blunt sequence of cause and effect. We encounter no sex problems, no ouija jigglings; Moraleda is Medford, Mass.; or Spoon River before it became a cemetery...
