...best host is one who creates an atmosphere in which all his guests will want to join. Is there any reason why the Harvard side of the stadium should show a silent indifference to its opponents, a sort of cold superiority to the presence of smaller colleges? Why save for the Princeton and Yale games the exhibition of enthusiasm and fine sportsmanship which Harvard can and has shown? So far the host in the stadium has done too little to create an atmosphere which will make those who "boo" feel decidedly out of place. We expect the team...
However, one thing this ballot does show rather conclusively, is that Debs, Christensen and Watkins cannot expect to compete with the candidates of the two older parties, and that they do not represent the choice of the educated voter.

...question is, why should it be necessary for those who wish to show their loyalty to the University, or to hear some prominent speaker, to be partially suffocated whenever they do so?

A stranger, watching the hopeless overcrowding at the Union Tuesday evening would certainly ask. "Why don't they hold such meetings in a hall of adequate size?" And those familiar with Harvard would have to answer...
Besides the usual aggregation of easy-to-look-upon girls, the main offerings are singing and dancing numbers, rather than comedy. The show contains but few excuses for laughter, and it is here, despite the efforts of Fannie Brice and Van and Schenck, that one regrets the absence of such favorites as Eddie Cantor. Joseph Urban contributes his gorgeous settings, and Ben Ali Haggin takes a hand in the spectacular design of the "Love Boat." The recently much-press-agented Mary Eaton makes her Follies debut with graceful toe dancing and a couple of songs, but her comparatively unknown namesake...
Irving Berlin has written two exceedingly catchy tunes, which have preceded the show to Boston by some time. "Girls of My Dreams" and "Tell Me, Little Gypsy", are familiar enough, and receive a large portion of the applause. Victor Herbert has added "The Love Boat," while Art Hickman's "Hold Me" is the only other song of consequence. One novelty that was introduced consists of a brilliant theatre audience facing the real spectators, in which the actions of an orchestra crowd during the intermission are travestied
