...Lampoon team is an example of vast incongruity, where sympathy enters into and prevents our appreciation of the comic. From Capt. Herter down through the whole board to Kettell at the bottom, it presents a pitiful mosaic of baseball inability. In lieu of anything better, H. G. Francke '14 has been secured to umpire...
...entire page of the "Independent" is to be edited by the Lampoon, the first issue to appear within a few weeks. This plan was originated by W. R. Burlingame '13, formerly of the Lampoon and now on the staff-of the "Independent." When it was decided to run a comic section in the "Independent," the idea was brought up of intrusting it to college men and the first issue under the new policy has been tendered to the Lampoon.

This "design" is almost comic in parts, it is ill-related to the buildings around it, possesses no beauty of its own and I do not believe it is even well planned for its purpose. It has met with the most sweeping and unreserved condemnation in the architecture school. Let us hope that such an eyesore will not be foisted on the Square to remain for years to come. KENNETH J.
