...have spoken frankly on this subject because the matter is a serious one for 1910 and for the College. Class unity is the one binding force which no class can lose and be more than a mere group of individuals taking their degrees in the same year. This is the time to restore the harmony of the class; it cannot be done after graduation...
...condition in which the class of 1910 has been placed by the spirit in which the result of the first election has been accepted is serious enough to constitute, if not an actual split, at least the imminent possibility of one. Both parties to the strife have used methods which ought never to find a place in College elections. Partisan zeal and prejudice have been turned to account in ways which are particularly objectionable in Senior year, when nominees should be considered on their merits alone...
...that the "H" should perhaps be given to those men only who have all-round athletic ability. It would indeed be comforting to feel that your hammer-throwing specialist could at a pinch fill in creditably at baseball or hockey, or even turn a handspring upon a wager.

...Nigger," the new play by E.B. Sheldon '08, will be performed for the first time this evening at 8.15 in the New Theatre in New York. Good authorities claim that this play, which is a serious drama, far outclasses Mr. Sheldon's first effort, "Salvation Nell." It will be the first American play of its kind to be performed at the New Theatre. The play will be given three times next week, on Monday and Thursday evenings at 8. and on Saturday afternoon at 2.15 o'clock...
