There are, I do not doubt, colleges where the fact that two undergraduates have names beginning with the same letter is regarded as enough upon which to found a beautiful friendship, but there is no bunk about this sort of thing at Harvard. The chances are against, rather than in favor of, the outsider getting inside,--as they are everywhere else. But that in itself may be a valuable factor in the undergraduate's development. The "Smart Aleck" may well be disappointed at the impression he creates or the enthusiasm he arouses, yet he may learn in consequence to behave...
...trades, and transportation $6,000,000,000 a year." All this sounds very promising, but inspection of the program clearly shows an attack on private enterprise. As it has been stated: "This league's legislative drive aims at nothing short of camouflaged communism." Here is an example of the sort of radical propaganda that is going on in the unions. This plan, which its exponents call "reconstructive", is an attempt to destroy the ideals and driving power upon which American industrial progress is built. It is an attempt to ensnare the public into a thoroughly Quixotic adventure...
Silver Bay at Lake George, called "the Switzerland of America", is one of the most picturesque and charming summer resorts of America. In the heart of the Adirondacks, it is superbly fitted for a conference of this sort.

Those who want to know the sort of absurdities that Robert Benchley '12 committed for the Lampoon before he gave up drawing and became Life's dramatic editor should consult page 455. Those who believe there is an abler comic artist in the country than Gluyas Williams '11, should glance at page 458 before making an irrevocable...
...want college loyalty: but we do not want it in that naive unity that comes from having played mandolins together on soft spring nights. That is desirable: but it is not sufficient. It may be a unity that penetrates every man, but it is a wholly ineffective sort of loyalty. Here we allow a man to work out his own salvation: let every man find for himself some social group, some intellectual niche where he fits in, some ideal that Yuspires him. Yet, wherever he is finally placed he cannot help being impregnated with the mellow reality that New England...
