...first place there is little doubt that the professor can present a far better working synopsis of his courses than any members of that course can prepare for themselves. No matter how many pages of notes they take, they will fail to obtain the emphasis on the important points which the professor could present at the conclusion of his treatment of the subject. We consider the comprehensive reviews as now presented in several courses merely a summing up, a retrospection, in no sense a "first aid" to those who have not done the regular work. The very fact that...
...work of the defence men in getting the puck out of the corners and carrying it up the ice was better than it has been before during this season, Blackall especially showing improvement in this department. The forward line lacked its usual aggressiveness, but was more than a match for the B. A. A. defence...
...Sever quadrangle, which was used for the afternoon meeting last year, showed room then for 2200 seats, and the number could have been increased. The hearing was good, and can be made better.

Any part of the Yard has the advantage over the Stadium of making possible a sudden change back to Sanders in case of bad weather, without the scattering and confusion which may result if the alternative place is three-quarters of a mile away. And any gathering...

As a third suggestion, we do not believe any Freshman class has the unity to abide by a nominating committee such as now controls upper...
...first game between the two teams was played at New York on a rink much smaller than the Arena. On this rink the University men were able to keep Baker, Princeton's star rover, effectively covered. Tonight he and his teammates will have a better chance to get their fast attack under way, and after it is once started, the University defence will have a hard task to break it up. On the other hand, the University men are accustomed to the Arena, while Princeton has played there only once this year...
