...think. Its very title is unattractive and uninspiring. It looks "prep-schoolish", and smells of the juvenile status which the freshman is proud to have left behind. If I were in authority I should call it "The Foundation Course", or something of that sort, to connote its large scope and significance. Then I should require it of every student--at any rate every freshman--entering the University. On no account or pretext should I allow it to be "anticipated" anywhere. It would have to be taken in the Harvard way, as a preparation for Harvard work, in accordance with what...
Altogether "The Mirrors of Grub Street" is a very creditable job. I hope to see The Advocate try it again, with a wider scope, a more serious program-and perhaps a sharper blue-pencil. Meanwhile I am, free to say that to the common or garden sort of outsider, who has been hearing-and sometimes saying himself-that the colleges are not turning out writers of good English, this display affords a most encouraging answer. Indeed, there is apparent in most of this collection a degree of literary finish and sophistication which some weary old hands might envy and emulate...
...seriousness of the situation which gives rise to the drive is evidenced by the fact that 2857 disabled soldiers come under the scope of the Cambridge branch of the Red Cross.

...addition to the hospital patients slightly disabled veterans who are unable to find work, men who have been cut off from their compensation due to failure to report for a stipulated physical examination, and tubercular and mental cases who prefer home treatment, all come under the scope of the Red Cross. Cambridge men stranded in other cities and residents of different places unable to get home because of lack of funds may receive loans from this organization, while foreign-born or illiterate soldiers receive assistance in filing papers and in securing means of employment. The Red Cross thus assists...
...meeting of the Clubs, but the first ever held in the neighborhood of the University. The Associated Harvard Clubs began its existence in 1897 as a western organization, and although it met at Philadelphia in 1908, at New York in 1912, and at Washington in 1920, and although its scope has gradually become national, it has never before assembled at Boston. The date set for the June meeting is the Friday and Saturday before Commencement week, so that graduates wishing to be on hand that week will have to come only a few days earlier to be present...
