...selected the latter path, and that he has escaped criticism may be taken to justify a presumptuous confidence in his own sprightly style and interests. The present reviewer, however, is bound to admit a certain weariness when encountering such passages as this, "Oh ye of little faith! Surely he lived--our Sherlock--and breathed the fog and dust of Baker Street, even as now, one hopes, he breathes the purer air that blows across the Sussex Downs. And Watson too--has he not sold his latest practice, and gone to join his comrade? How often one likes to think that...
...supplant Harvard in the affections of old Eli. Occupying as we do a sort of midway station between the two, our inclinations are not equally divided between the Tiger and the Crimson as would seem natural, but bear a slight twinge to the northward.

For the first time in 26 years, Harvard has joined the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League and will play league teams such as Princeton, Columbia and Yale. Access to all of the baseball games to be played on the Soldiers Field diamond will be furnished by the tickets...

But if student opinion were united, and pressure put on University Hall through the housemasters, it might be driven to admit that 3.2 beer with meals was a privilege which Harvard is certainly adult enough to claim, and to suggest this to the Massachusetts legislature. A simple amendment of the beer age limit from twenty-one to eighteen would be nothing but a legal acknowledgment of a plain fact. Even the Massachusetts legislature cannot remain forever so far from the walks...
