...Scarecrow," written especially for the Dramatic Club by C. D. Clifton '12, leader of the orchestra. Unlike the overture to "The Promised Land," composed last fall by P. G. Clapp '09, this prologue will not so much provide a mere epitome of the theme of the play as attempt to picture the relations of the motives and characters of the drama proper.

We are printing the first verse, and hope that every man will make himself thoroughly familiar with it, so that on future occasions when...
...society, to be known as the Harvard Aeronautical Society, has been organized, with the purpose of rendering accessible to Harvard students information about flights, and of giving opportunity for experimental work under the supervision of the Astronomical and Engineering Faculties. The experimenting groups will attempt to construct some full-sized gliding machines...
