...number of men who have reported to Coach Quinn for the fall work in the field events is very small and a larger number of men from the Freshman class, particularly, is desired. The fall work, while necessarily shorter than that of the colleges farther south, is absolutely essential for a successful spring season. All men who desire to participate in the Freshman track meet on October 16 should report at once, as there is but little more than two weeks remaining in which to train. The handicap games follow a week later...
...promise which rises encouragingly near to performance; Mr. Weston's "Whitsuntide in Germany" is pleasing, if not important; Mr. Pichel's "The Quake in Unbelief" has life enough to make up for its crudeness; Mr. Wright's "Parsifal," in terza rima with one verse left unrhymed, is so much larger and more imaginative than most undergraduate poetry that one may hopefully overlook its faults. Many readers will find Mr. Seldes's discussion of college democracy the most remunerative article in the number, sufficient in itself to make the magazine worth buying...
...collegiate activity which carries with it some degree of responsibility in representing the College. During the fall, besides the regular dual concerts with Dartmouth at home and Yale at New Haven there will be a few concerts in the vicinity of Boston to try out the material for the larger concerts.

It is much too early, of course, to obtain definite registration figures, but it may be said that, with two notable exceptions, all of our institutions of higher learning have made gains in enrolment. Harvard's Freshman class is larger and more representative than ever before. The University's attempt to attract to its halls men from the West and from the public high schools in general is surely proving successful. Yale expects about two hundred more students than it had last year. At Wellesley, Tufts, Dartmouth, Bates, Colby, Smith...
...directors of the Co-operative have begun, in connection with the book department of the society's store an experiment in the purchase of entire editions of the text books used in some of the larger College courses. During the summer contracts were made with some of the large publishing houses for the printing of whole editions of several books and these are now on sale at the Co-operative. For use in Economics 1, which has an enrollment of over 500 students, an entire edition (1000 sets) of Professor Taussig's "Principles of Economics" was prepared. These books will...
