...will limit itself to 80 pages until 1931; thereafter I suppose "the sky will be the limit" to advertising. I am one of those who is overfed with advertising and have cancelled my subscription to a number of magazines and publications which force advertising into the reading pages and insist that the reader must take this meretricious hash, whether he wants to or not. I have already written once before protesting against what I consider an insufferable impertinence on the part of modern publishers, to whom the advertiser is the commanding force and who treat the convenience of the readers...

And maybe they are right. Judging strictly on this season's record, there would unquestionably be some changes, but judging from an estimate of the ability and immediate possibilities...
...football over the Physics Lab radio. By special arrangement with the heating plant the atmosphere over there can be made quite realistic. Fur coats are quite all right and any one who wants to can sing Boola Boola. Men are not great assets during games anyway--they always insist that you listen to the rules, and our escort last year disconcertingly chewed and swallowed the entire program in his excitement. --The Vassar Miscellany...
