Then the peace was shattered as a small crowd bustled into the square shouting "Peace and friendship" in foreign-accented Russian.

Even after the Houses were built, the CRIMSON bore malice to the system, and looked with democratic indignation at the "aristocratic tendencies" of Lowell House high table. In the early morning of 1932, when almost all the House units were already under way, the CRIMSON ridiculed the fad for House colors and emblems, and sarcastically foresaw "heraldic rabbits cavorting on Leverett pajamas...
