The walking delegate of the Natives' Union, local No. 1, argues that the matter may best be settled by massacring the whole...
...Building, and in one of the Freshman Dormitories. The results of the prohibition vote will be published immediately; but the Peace Award vote cannot be published until the national votes have been received at New York, sorted for duplicates, and counted. Then the Harvard votes will be published in comparison with the national total...
