...flooding Holmes Field appears to have been abandoned for good and all, since discussion of the subject has stopped altogether. The advantages to be gained by putting such a plan into execution, makes it worth while to give the subject fair consideration. If the Athletic Association is unwilling to cover the track on Holmes with water, Jarvis Field still remains. It is true that the ground is higher than Holmes Field but this fact does not make it impossible nor even very difficult to flood the field. A low embankment either of earth or snow would be sufficient to keep...
...lecture was devoted to one of the most noticeable-the great Muirglacier. This is one mile across and 408 feet high where it reaches the sea, while the water is there 600 feet deep. Great pieces of ice continually break off with a loud noise, and these icebergs cover the surrounding inlets. The motion of this mass was from 65 to 72 feet per day in places, and the whole moved at an average rate of 40 feet per day about the same as the Greenland glaciers. The erosion of these glaciers is very great. It is calculated that...
...this we have already paid $150; there is a balance on hand of $132.05. To cover the bill which will be in before Jan. 1, $450 more is required. This leaves no margin; with smaller receipts we must beg for delay or borrow. There are only ten days in which to get it, before the whole college-the committee with the rest-will have scattered...
...were rough. The artists took less care with their work than those who came later, and the process of printing, etc., was more crude than it is to-day. Nevertheless the pictures as well as the reading matter stamped the paper as the Lampoon, and then when the red cover was adopted the paper had still another distinguishing mark. The pictures of Attwood, called "Ye Manners and Customs of ye Harvard Students," which appeared first in the Lampoon, were afterwards published in bookform, and some illustrated plays by Robert Grant also, which since have appeared as books, were first enjoyed...
...bright verse more and more scarce. The double page and then even the full-page pictures disappeared and small society pictures with jokes (?) that would fit any one of them equally well, were substituted instead. Finally, to complete the destruction of its ancient character, the Lampoon's cover was changed into a cheap copy of that of Life. In fact, the whole paper is apparently aiming to reproduce a Lampoonized edition of Life, its style of pictures, its jokes (?) and its clippings. Why the Lampoon, which was the father of Life, and in former days was conceded...
