...apathy. He whom the Fates frowned on at the midyears has long since received a neatly printed notice from the Dean's Office reminding him that due to his failure to maintain a B average he must be particularly careful not to cut classes around holiday time. The implied threat is the big stick of probation for the feckless undergraduate who is careless enough to bid defiance to University Hall on this momentous question by slipping down to Wellesley or Smith on pleasure bent and returning beyond the deadline of his first class...

(2) No less firmly braced were the heads of the automobile industry against allowing their business, whatever the cost, to fall into the clutches...
...Kohler among our Alumni? Then let a bowl, a basin, be passed about through all House Dining Rooms and let sweet charity flow into it that we may be the godlier. For if results are not forthcoming from this plea for succor we threaten--and it is no idle threat--to descend on masse on Fair Harvard and scourge the place with measles; and we have measles to spare. Woe therefore to the stiff-necked and unmerciful! We shall make Harvard the abomination of desolation, laid low with measles. Look you to it! James LeB. Boyle, II, '36 Thomas...
