...Freshman Red Book will be published about the middle of May. The first part of it will go to press this week and the remaining sections will follow as soon as they are completed. The cancellation of athletics on account of the war has made it possible to finish the work on this section much earlier than was expected and will also make the Red Book somewhat smaller than usual. The pictures of the different teams were taken before the men left for the Naval Reserve so that all their members were included. The photographic department has all but about...

It is known that the CRIMSON, and, for the time being at least, the Lampoon, Advocate and Illustrated, will continue to be published, and the Senior Album, as well as the Freshman Red Book, will go to press as originally planned. Such class functions as smokers and dinners, however, will be cancelled; the Freshman banquet has already been called off, and the Sophomores and Juniors contemplate similar action. The Freshman Jubilee and the Senior Picnic will in all probability not take place...
