...would be a bold man who would prophesy the fortunes of Mr. MacKaye's new play on the stage. It is so unlike anything that has been seen in the theatre these many years that parallels of any kind are hard to draw; and yet it has so much that is striking, even startling, in it that a theatrical sensation is by no means out of the question. "The Scarecrow" is a prose "tragedy of the indicrous," based upon a suggestion derived from Hawthorne's "Feathertop"; but the purely satirical purpose of the original story is replaced by an ethical...
This evening's mass meeting, although without the same dramatic attractions that draw enormous crowds to the Living Room of the Union during football season; is probably the most important affair of the kind that has been held in many years. The meeting has been called for an undergraduate ratification of the committee's proposed student council.

The supplies of the city are purchased by persons who have no knowledge of the kind involved in making the contract, so that the city thus loses immense sums. The worst influence morally is the complicity of the police with the worst vices, for whose protection they take money. By the ingenious device of fradulent letting of contracts, lucrative jobs are given to political retainers...
