...never been realized. If they have been harrowed by the cruel tragedies that have often been on the bills, let them know that this year falls to comedy. And if they are in the ranks of those who would have College dramatics purely masculine in casts, we should suggest that real dramatic tasks cannot be performed by casts in which the heroine resembles rather the blacksmith that the gentlewoman. College talent should not be confined to burlesque. As for the incorrigibles, those cynies who sneer at anything but the professional stage, too often of superficiality, we can say nothing...
...view of the "era of good feeling" which has happily been inaugurated in athletics between Harvard and Yale, may it not be in order to suggest to our "friend, the enemy" that it is time to give up the concerted efforts to "rattle" our players? Whenever Harvard had the ball on the Yale side of the field during the recent game in the Stadium, the Yale crowd set up a great noise, in order to drown, if possible, the signals given to the Harvard team.

If it is felt that the pledges must be redeemed at one, we can only suggest as a means to that end the hateful task of personal dunning which seems so distasteful to the writers of the communication. But we do not admit that in the meantime 1917 must go uncanvassed. Graduate action, of course, cannot be taken until the undergraduates have come somewhere near their goal...
...twenty fifth anniversary as a teacher here. The purpose of this fund, which has been contributed by the friends of Professor Kittredge, is to establish a permanent principal, the income of which is to be expended in purchasing such books for the College Library as Professor Kittredge may suggest. If he is at any time unable to direct the expenditure, such books as he would approve are to be purchased. A special book-plate has been made to be inserted in each of the volumes acquired by means of this fund...
