...hate war!", uttered by a titanic voice last night in the small courtyard of Lowell House brought dozens of Bellboys scurrying to listen. The curious were well rewarded for they heard successively the voices of Roger Bigelow Merriman (demanding quiet in a falsetto), J. J. Toomey, of the Cambridge City Council (telling how he stood on Larz Anderson Bridge and saw nothing but disappointed spectators returning from the Stadium) and Franklin Delane Roosevelt '04 (revealing that he hates...
Recent and hectic research into his moldy History 1 notes has told the Vagabond, with all that bluntness and clarity which characterized his first eager draughts of knowledge at Professor Merriman's fount so many "eras" ago, that Waterloo was an inconsequential little place near Brussels where a great British man called Wellington, whose family name was Wellesley, and a German man named Blucher, first recipient of the Iron Cross, were fortunate enough to crush a great French man named Napoleon on June 18, 1815.

He became an instructor in History here in 1902, and a professor in 1918. From nothing he made History 1 into a top rank course, though he devotes himself more particularly to the Spanish Empire and Tudor England. A devout Anglophile, he reigns over his classes and masters...
