...last year's event, no additional ornaments were placed in the Living Room, where the dancing was held, other than a large 1910 banner.

The lobby like the Living Room, where not extensively decorated, the only ornaments being laurel festoons draped from the lights and potted palms here and there. The decorations in the rooms on the west wing and the Dining Room, in all of which boxes were located, were carefully planned. As a central lighting fixture in each room was a large gilt sunburst lighted with...
...does Harvard alone attest his greatness. His mental precision and unusual capacity for lucid and apt discrimination have enabled him to treat public questions with singular authority and with an unerring instinct for the aspirations and needs of society. He has touched no subject without illuminating it; he has stood firmly for collegiate and civic righteousness; and so sane have been his counsels, so masterly his power of statement, that he not only commands today the attention of America, but he is honored by scholars and thinkers throughout the world.

MacKay broke through the Indian line on nearly every play, blocking kicks and breaking up interference. Crowley and Browne played well, Browne strengthening the backfield considerably on the defence. Cutler got his plays off smoothly and with good speed, but was slightly outpunted by Thorpe. The substitution of fresh men in the backfield at critical moments proved more than successful, Leslie, Smith and Ver Wiebe all doing well. White, Corbett and Leslie were the best ground gainers...
