...Harvard man since it is not only a play of remarkable excellence, a genuine novelty in stage entertainment capitally done, but also, as it happens, the work of a not very old alumnus. Mr. Edward Knoblauch, unlike the other Edward--Mr. Sheldon--has until comparatively recently been better known, or at least equally well known, in England as here. Indeed, Kismet came to America only after it had won signal favor in London in 1911, and this not because Mr. Knoblauch chose that the British stage should foster his work but that the American managers, sagacious men that they...
...showing made by the collectors for the Gymnasium Fund from the class of 1914 was better today, but the class is still at the bottom of the list. There is no reason in the world for this, and, although the collectors are somewhat to blame, the members of the class have not shown the right spirit.

A number of alumni will be present, the chief speaker being H. Fish '10, who has been appointed by the Student Council to look into the ways and means...
...considering the number of men who have contributed. Nevertheless, the average contribution at present is almost exactly $10 per man, and considering the fact that the average among the Dartmouth undergraduates for their gymnasium was over $25 per man, it would seem as though Harvard can and should do better than this. In order to do this, it will be necessary for some of the men who have only contributed a small sum to hand in another contribution. Surely nearly every member of the University will be able to give $25 before next September and, if necessary, students will...
