...promotion of international good understanding, and a sympathetic appreciation of England is a good acquisition for any of us. But let no one fear that Oxford will feed him with sentimental ideas about Anglo-Saxondom or inoculate him with any brand of imperialism. Much nonsense of that sort is being written in this country at present, with quotations of certain rash utterances of that amazing genius, Cecil Rhodes. Rhodes saw one thing clearly, that mutual understanding between this country, Great Britain and the dominions, having a common language and, to a peculiar degree, a common culture, was most desirable...
...without the addition of any unnecessary obstacles by the Faculty. Changing the date of the divisionals at this late hour is somewhat upsetting, but not nearly so disconcerting as the plan of holding both the general Divisional and Departmental examinations on the same day. In "thinking" tests of this sort, it is particularly important that the mind of the candidate be fresh in order to do representative work. With no apparent regard for those unfortunate ones who are taking the examinations, the schedule has been drawn up. Possibly because Emerson D is being used for some other purpose...
...some years the Princeton Triangle Club, the Cornell Masque, the Pennsylvania Mask and Wig and similar undergraduate organizations have taken trips through principal cities of the country during vacation.

...third musical comedy organization at Harvard, and the second, that to make room would mean abolishing one or both of the present organizations, which would be both undesirable and impossible. The answer is, that if Harvard men really want to establish something similar to the Triangle, some sort of compromise must be reached. For example, the Student Council or any other appointed body, could judge which of the two performances seemed to have the greatest possibilities for an all Harvard production. Some of the best music or novelties from the other show could be incorporated into the chosen...
...other words, the "dear public" does not want to pay to see a drama depicting life as analyzed by a philosophical playwright whose uniqueness has made his name and memory immortal. We study his plays in college, but seldom see them produced because "the public does not want that sort of thing." It would be interesting to make this experiment; obtain the best of Shakspearean actors for the production of the immortal's plays with the money sunk into the elaborate Broadway revue as a working capital for scenery costumes and modern theatrical appliances, and tour the country as frequently...
