...there are no new songs written as taking in their melodies as the old ones? Or rather why is it that such songs are not brought into popular favor? The same old songs with but few additions are sung year after year, and although now and then complaints are heard, nothing of importance has yet been done. Our own glee club started a laudable practice in its last concert in particular by rendering several new songs, and it is right here that we find the root of the whole question. It certainly must be through the medium of the glee...
...have heard wonder expressed that the HERALD-CRIMSON does not contain more items of college news, and it is but fair to say that the "Fact and Rumor" column is somewhat deficient in that respect.

While this statement may be slightly exaggerated it has "much of method...
...Cremorne. There could be no doubt, however, that the faithful were enjoying themselves amazingly-"right lucky fellows," as we read in the new translation of the Qur An, for so the learned call the Koran of our ignorance. Yet even here all was not peace and pleasantness, for I heard my name called by a small voice, in a tone of patient, subdued querulousness. Looking hastily round, I with some difficulty recognized, in a green turban and slid gown to match, my old college tutor and professor of Arabic. Poor old Jones had been the best and the most...
