...President of the Student Council has found it necessary to call attention in the existence at Harvard of book "hogs" in the librarian--the men who keep books for individual use while others are waiting, the men who take out books and "forget" to return them. It is preposterous to trial such men as irresponsible children--to threaten and plead with them. College men are intelligent enough to appreciate fair play, to understand, at least, the reason for the few, simple rules made by the libraries.

Not far from a million British...

This may or may not be the best solution, but there is nothing wrong with the City Club's endeavor to remind the people that in the grand hunt for prospective jailbirds they room to forget that what New York, in common with other large cities, needs is immediate action to relieve the housing shortage...
While the eleven deserves all praise for the perfect execution of these plays, we must not forget "Dick" Wigglesworth, whose crafty brain brought them to such perfection of accuracy and concealment. Harvard may always look for a victory as long as the "Haughton system" is carried out by such a redoubtable group of coaches...
