...graduates have stated their willingness to contribute toward a new building, if the undergraduates would give proof of their eagerness for such a building. This the undergraduates of five classes have done with pledges aggregating $14,000. To date one excuse has been open to these undergraduates for refusing to pay their pledges. They have rather justly protested that there were no signs of a graduate committee and no signs of progress. Their feelings were well expressed in the centre page of the going out number of the Lampoon's 1914 Board, which depicted, the present chairman of the undergraduate...

Some men realize this, but, unfortunately, delude themselves into thinking that they will...
...Committee has entered in to its campaign for building funds is a tribute to the sincerity of the class. It has taken the matter seriously and has tackled the detailed work in a business-like manner. The energy of this short campaign, which will end tomorrow night, is sure proof of the active interest which has been demanded of under graduates. The final two days' spurt in the campaign will bring the new gymnasium a great deal nearer existence. And much of the credit will belong...
