...Tonight, if we may judge from precedent, the undergraduate body will pack Webster hall to be filled with a lot of sentimental rot about 'dear old Dartmouth.'

...obtained as cheaply as we can furnish it. With its large kitchens Memorial Hall is expensive to conduct unless the number of meals served is proportionate to the equipment; and it seems unreasonable to carry it on at a loss if no social purpose is promoted thereby.

The Bennett of old was wont to sport with his realistic characers by plunging them into romantic situations, as in "The Grand Babylon Hotel," or "Buried Alive." His latest effort, however, deals with a prosy old codger who maunders...
