...editorial entitled "Many Seasons". The reviewer, as one who has suffered much from the obligation of reading authors who have reached a perilous stage in this habit, may be allowed to register here his mild protest, and to express the hope that writers at Harvard, if only for the sake of a change, may turn their attention to imitating the clarity of the Victorian age or even of the eighteenth century...
Tomorrow will bring another test of the present order. If the men of 1923 and 1924 want class officers, for the sake of tradition or for any other reason, they should be sure to vote tomorrow.

That is a question that has been raised by newspaper men more than once in the last two years. If only for the sake of the sporting critics let us beat Holy Cross today; it would be a pity to rob them of the copy which they deserve from this weekly speculation...
