...history of dramatics and oral expression at Harvard, no organized effort seems to have been made to unite the men of the highest acting ability. In the present public performances individuals stand out by their natural excellence. In all the clubs that turn their efforts to the stage, however, these few men are usually overbalanced by a large cast chosen from those who are members of the organization on other grounds than their dramatic ability...
...things which especially stand out in the remembrance of his college career, Dr. Gordon went on to say, are the consciousness of the great many different kinds of power in men and the value of examinations.

But there are two obstacles which stand in the way of building a bridge without a draw. These are the riparian rights of the Brighton Abattoir and of the Watertown Arsenal. It is altogether possible that the abattoir's license may be withheld this year, as the section in which it is located is becoming thickly populated; in this case it is not unlikely that the War Department will permit the construction of a bridge without...
