...ownership is not practical at present, said Mayor Hibbard, and it never will be until it can be entirely freed from politics. In Boston it has particularly been a failure because of its corruption. A good example is the Municipal Printing Plant of the city, which has been a sort of bank for politicians and their constituents during the last few years. This year, however, it has been placed on a firm basis, with a practical man at its head, and it will be given two years' fair trial to show whether or not municipal ownership is a success...
Professor Zueblin's lectures are over, but their memory will long be with us. He has summed up and placed before us in a clear and tangible form the problems which, in a general sort of way, have long been foremost in our minds. He has touched every side of life in a straightforward and manly way, adding by his won personality an irresistible charm to the breadth of his absorbing subject.

In the course of the practice several batteries were tried, but none of the first string pitchers were used. It was the first opportunity for outdoor batting and pitching, and several of the batters showed up to good advantage against the second string pitchers...
...compare this situation with the one today. Our Gymnasium is outgrown and it cannot be advantageously enlarged. We still have plenty of land in the new athletic centre, suitable for a modern gymnasium. It is more than advisable, it is practically necessary, to erect some sort of a new building. Just what the present one might be converted into we dare not suggest. The swimming bath is still in the future, for the suggested building has long been used as a museum. Today there are 3583 students in Cambridge departments of the University--an increase of 2628. When the agitation...
