...interesting contribution to a recent issue of the Boston Herald Professor Arthur Gordon Webster, of Worcester, tells the following story. One Commencement Day he met an undergraduate whom he asked to pick out their fellow-townsmen on the Honor List. With a laugh of contempt his friend replied: "We don't go in much for that." Professor Webster and a great many critics of American higher education would take this instance as typical of the proverbial Harvard indifference.

Rice '17 did some pretty passing on the left side of the rink, but the scoring was all the result of individual playing. G. A. Percy '18 got the first goal at the very start of the practice but though the line carried the puck up the rink...
