...primary object of the book, which has all the earmarks of the common type of best-seller. In many ways, it would have been better if it had been, for Mr. Quick could have produced an exceedingly interesting volume by holding to the thread of history of contrast. It is a story of middle aged lion between a very young girls, who more firmly. As it is, by sugar coating schoolbook facts with the conventional love trash, he introduces an element which is both out of place and annoying. The heroine may be the cause of all the difficulty...
...Lumpkin" (Mr. Clive) and even boisterous "Diggory" (Mr. Johnston) were toned down to the proper key. "Mrs. Hardcastle" was exceptionally well played by Miss Esden. Unfortunately the performance was a long time reaching this level, and some of the earlier scenes were--sad to say--badly over-played. In contrast to the former productions, the bit where the two travelers drain the pot of ale dry in spite of the efforts of their supposed host to get a swallow himself, was rendered purely for its farce values, and the very rich comedy in it wholly neglected.

The Living Room of the Union seats seven or eight hundred, and when double this number is crowded into it--as when Governor Cox visited Harvard last year-- their experience makes a New York subway jam seem tame by contrast. An auditorium with seats for three or four thousand, in which could be held Commencement exercises, the exercises on the morning of Class Day, and important lectures and mass meetings, would be a useful addition to the University...
...University and freshman sextets gathered at the Union to hear Captain George Owen Jr. '23 and Coach William H. Claflin '15 speak. After a brief talk by Captain Owen outlining the work of the season, Coach Claflin gave a blackboard discussion of the six-man game in contrast to the former seven-man style of play. The success of the University hockey teams in the past, according to Coach Claflin, has been that through the Winsor system the teams have been perfected in the strategy of seven-man hockey. The task for the coming winter will be to readjust...
