...London next June, with the declaration that in the future Yale intends to row Harvard alone, will be very gratifying to Harvard. From the tone of the declaration it seems extremely probable that Yale will also refuse to row Pennsylvania, basing her refusal on the latter's action in regard to the freshman race last June. As it is unlikely that the Harvard-Columbia races will be resumed, it now seems certain that, in rowing at least, the anticipated dual league will be a reality this year.

...active discussion in reference to Harvard's action in withdrawing from the football league has subsided much sooner than we at first supposed it would.

...installment plan and went to live in a flat, while the husband writes tragedies which are never accepted. The devices to escape creditors and the dismantlement of the flat, followed by the improvising of chairs and sofas out of soap boxes and barrels, form the basis of action. The perilous adventures of persons who sit in these makeshifts and the disasters that ensue, give rise to a number of very amusing incidents...
