...wish to say that the vote was counted in the Office of the CRIMSON, because an accurate count might not be assured with a hundred gentlemen clamoring around the chair. This count was made by designated counters, one from the Union, and one from the Speakers' Club not by the chairman; but, had the chairman been prejudiced, he could have broken the tie by his own vote...
Prospects for a strong team next year are very good, though places of men like Captain J.C. Jennings, '15, J.H. Baker '15, P. Blackmur '15, D.F. Fenn '15 and B. Nichols '15 will be hard to fill.

Indeed, it is doubtful whether a system combining in a worse way worse methods of lighting could be devised...
...days, religion will cast off the cloth and wear, so to speak, the common business suit. In this garb it may well make a deep appeal to some who have considered creeds as things apart from themselves, and worship as a detached something which may hover around everyday life but which never has much to do with...
