Following a decision of the Phillips Brooks House Cabinet to turn over to the Foreign Students Committee the use of the Ralph Hamilton Shepard Memorial Room in the Phillips Brooks House, the executive committee of the Council plans to redecorate the room and establish headquarters there for foreign students. The rearrangement of the room will be made with a view to embodying all the qualities of a club: Periodicals and books from most of the foreign nations will be kept on the shelves, and tea will be served on certain afternoons. While taking this step in realizing a headquarters...
...prevalence of adverse criticism of Dunster House tower among undergraduates was not considered justified by Mr. Aldrich. "The tower of Christ Church College at Oxford of course furnished the basic design for the plan, but that does not seem to me to be basis for adverse criticism. The use of an octangular tower crowned with a dome is one of the main features of a great deal of architecture, even as early as the seventeenth century," was his comment...

...pair of ends in the whole country. The former looked like all-American timber with his bruising tackling and omnipresence, while it was only the mighty kicks of the latter that kept the Worcester boys at bay so successfully. They are a couple of players whom any coach could use. Holy Cross too had some fine men on the field, notably O'Connell, the Sophomore back who ran eighty-odd yards from a kick-off here in the Stadium a week or so ago. He is shifty, fast and a very hard runner. The chances are that Harvard fans will...
