Entries for the three class squash tournaments. Lists for which are now posted in the University Squash Courts, will close on Thursday, it has been announced. The first eight men in each of the three upperclass tournaments which will begin on that day will afterwards play ladder tournaments to determine the personnel of the class teams...
...curriculum. The writer of the clipping raised, figuratively speaking, his hands in well simulated horror at the thought that whereas the University "has a gigantic new Business School" it offers only 5 courses in Greek, while Princeton and Yale take their places on the uppermost rungs of the intellectual ladder giving 12 and 9 courses in Greek respectively.

Now both proceed along the ladder of fame, one downwards, the other up, each to remain in the public memory as long as is customary for fallen idols: for, to assume the pessimistic attitude and to predict the inevitable, each will be a fallen idol in a surprisingly short time, and he whose arm extended aloft...
