...difference between the opposing elevens. When interviewed after the game Umpire Knapp said, raising his bandaged hand to heaven, "Those News-gatherers were infinitely superior. They reminded me for all the world of the Orioles when Anson was in his prime. Oh those days--" Whereupon he relaxed into unconsciousness. Needless to say he was not bothered again...
...present all the men who are taking laboratory courses in Chemistry are compelled to stand from one to four hours at a stretch at the desks in Boylston and Dane Halls. It is needless to say that such an arrangement not only tires the aspiring chemists physically, but renders them mentally incapable of their best work.

The undergraduate religious societies work in co-operation with their respective churches outside the University. They endeavor to give men whatever aid they can through weekly meetings and conferences. The Social Service work is carried on largely...
