Bohemia has built a beautiful lake in its Grove. Sculptor Haig Patigian designed the altar at one extremity of this lake, which is an heroically shaped Owl-the Club's insignia ("Weaving spiders come not here"). Here the captured effigy of care is oared from across the lake in a medieval barge, and laid on a funeral pyre, where amidst much colorful ritual, he is cremated, to bother man no more-until next year. He is not buried...
...yell of fury headed northwest toward the U. S. coast line 1,000 miles away. As it skirted south of Bermuda it kicked up enormous seas, sent Bermudians scurrying to cover, kept three large liners from putting in at Hamilton.

The universal nickname, "Frisky", which ranks with "Copey" and "Kitty" among Harvard's factious sobriquets, has clung to him since his college days, did not spring, as so many think, from his animated platform manner. Anathema to him are hats, newspapers, or sleeping students in the New Lecture Hall just before he begins his lecture. He is a strong Anglophile, swallows his ever present pipe half way down his threat...
