Added to the interest of the event itself will be the testing of a recent announcement made to the startled world--one which, if true, should give the Juniors an added advantage, For woman, it is now claimed, possesses five ounces less of brain matter than does man. If she succeeds in winning the conversational battle, she will be credited with a moral victory, at least, and she will disprove the theory of the new scientist. But conversation, though important, is not the chief part of the evening. There will stand before every couple the recently made fourteen...
Mile, Novaes excelled in the Chopin group. James Gibbons Buneker once said that "to play Chopin, one must have acute sensibilities, a versatility of mood, a perfect mechanism, the heart of a woman and the brain of a man"; and Mile. Novaes seemed to conform with most of that statement. Occasionally she was guilty of excessive rubato, and occasionally she rather pounded the lower reaches of the piano; but, for vitality of tone, evenness of scale, and fine interpretation, she cannot find an equal among any of the contemporary pianists we have heard. The Mazurka and the Etude were especially...
...these cases, all the blue-book phrases-and pen-point terms of the undergraduate are rendered useless; in fact, he might have slept through all his brain fresh.

Today is born the "Gadfly", an offspring of the Liberal Club, leaping full armed from the brain to fill the need for some magazine of "opinion". As such, it will gratify a want which has long been felt. But if its opinions become opinionated, and the "Gadfly" contents itself in buzzing in only one ear and leaves the other alone, if it demonstrates that "opinions" of undergraduates are immature and of not much value, it would fare better on some even more lopsided planet. But that time will show; to begin with the CRIMSON wishes the "Gadfly" every success...
Andreyev spoke of his belief in tones of satire and of tragedy--an impulse coloured by memory. Reading and experience had laid its hand heavily upon him. The coordination of his pen hand, and his brain knew no compromise. His was the utterance of impulses turned as of water into wine by memories and always uncensored. He will live beyond this generation to a better understanding by the next, because his was romance unbiased by the influence of Freud. "Give me back the image of my beautiful Goddess" as Andreyev says in "He Who Gets Slapped...
