...assistant manager of the University wrestling team subject to the approval of the Athletic Committee. The following have been awarded wrestling insignia for the past season: Joseph Nicholas Barry Brennan, Jr., '15, of Leetonia, O.; Herbert Paul Carter '17, of Andover; John Wicks Cooke '16, of Newton Centre; Eugene Lion Coates Davidson '17, of Washington, D. C.; Frederic Henry Dewart '17, of Spokane, Wash.; Sidney Foote Greeley '15 (manager) of Winnetka, Ill.; Howard Brainard Hull '16, of Bridgeport, Conn.; Albert John Weatherhead, Jr., '15, of Cleveland...
...might well have been sacrificed to one more plausible. Nature perhaps, but not art, "looks after her freaks." One doubts, too, whether "Kernham! Wow!" will strike many as congruous with a Maine handy man. A really charming narrative, allegedly autobiographical, in the manner of Rhibany, is Ben Lion Trynin's "Rosalie."

Dr. Morse, although his conclusions about the harmful effects of athletic specialization are undoubtedly logical, will probably find that his words fall on deaf ears...

"Pu-Pu-La," the much-talked-of celebrity, recently imported from Brockton, is expected to furnish the lion's share of amusement in the art of dodging. Crowds of strong men, however, will gather around the striking machine and the wheel of fortune. A cane board will be provided for the bolder members of the class. Much credit must be given the committee for securing a game especially invented for the occasion called "the tub and ball contest." For genuine fun, there will be nothing...
...from Paris. Two old gentlemen of the town are continually playing practical jokes which would now be regarded as social errors rather than as marks of a cultivated intellect. The Londoner, a French barber, launches into the society in the disguise of a French count and becomes the social lion of the moment. He succeeds in winning the hand of the "younger lady of culture," and the complications which ensue are most amusing and possibly not out of date...
