Perhaps "The Glorious 17th" was a sermon on home ethics--who knows? Isn't there a sort of heart-string appeal in the placid features of the old man and the worried expression of his spouse? The fact that this group is of a race which the author forgets to name is simply because the 17th of March happened to be the most timely holiday to portray. If the issue had come next month, the "27th of April" would have done, being observed as a holiday among the Madagascans...
...along the Wandorobo, Coolidge was joined by Colby, and they started for Mt. Suswa to shoot lions. One night after the latter had obtained several fine specimens, a stockade was built and a dead antelope placed nearby as a decoy. On this carcass Coolidge arranged a camera with a string attached to the shutter and then waited inside the stockade. He had taken two splendid flashlight pictures of lionesses and was rearranging the camera when a large lion charged him. He ran and dove through the door of the enclosure. Next morning the lion's tracks were discovered only four...
Pictures will be shown illustrating the types of country through which the lecturers traveled, the different tribes of natives, and specimens of wild animals.

This was entirely due to the strong showing of the second-string men. Hallowell concluded by saying that all "H" men should regard it as a great privilege to represent the University, and dwelt upon the advantages of the new Varsity Club building...
...practice game at the Boston Arena last evening the University hockey team was defeated by the Boston Hockey Club by the score of 4 to 1. In the first period, when the regular first string men were playing, the University team, largely through the good work of Graustein and Huntington, prevented their opponents from scoring. The forwards were unable to preserve any consistent team-work, for the Boston players out-skated them and coming up from behind, usually intercepted the passes. Most of the play was around the University team's goal and Chadwick made many difficult stops...
