...Dutch or Nationalist party is not, it is true, allied with the government, but in the present crisis the Dutch population has rallied most loyally to the crown forces and is exerting every effort to suppress the disorders in the Transvaal. One convincing proof of this fact lies in the ranks of the miners themselves. Contrary to popular opinion, the vast majority of the white laborers in the mines are of British descent--only a very small percentage are Dutch--and it is this division, composed of English, Scotch, and Irish workers, that is causing the difficulty...
...which I know perfectly well is not worth prolonging--a life that is only a curse to its day and generation. The work that college men are doing in Labrador, by changing these lives by example, helps to make all the difference in the world. I have seen the proof of this, while they have been unloading coal vessels--a tough job, or digging foundations in a boulder bank glued together by heavy clay, or blasting out a water supply through granite rocks almost under water all the time, or firing in the tiny engine room of a hospital steamer...
...Hill needs little introduction to the Cambridge and Boston public. His "Fall of the House of Usher" was played last year by this orchestra, when he was already well known by his charming "Stevensoniana". We were glad to have another opportunity of hearing the "Waltzes", which are still further proof of his skill at orchestration.

In form these waltzes suggest the "Valses Nobles et Sentimentales" of Ravel, where there are seven of contrasting mood and character, and the closing...

Next year the Senior dormitories, Holworthy, Thayer, Hollis, Stoughton, and Grays are to be filled as they never have been before, and still there are applications unfilled. With the yearly increase in the enrollment this question promises to become more and more acute as time goes on. Where this year's committee had difficulty in assigning rooms, the committee four or five years hence, given no more rooms to allot, will...
...circular to all the leading institutions of the country. Out of 400 colleges, 69 reported giving credit for amateur acting. Correlation between dramatics and the college curriculum was in force in 59 colleges, while in the last five years over 200 amateur plays have been given. It is a proof of the growing popularity of practical training in theatricals in the University that of the courses in dramatics now under way over two-thirds were instituted since 1915. There age several other famous dramatic centers, prominent among which are the School of Drama at Carnegie Institute of Technology...
