Claiming that the success of the House Plan is threatened by a combination of high costs and depressed pocketbooks, an article in the current Harvard Graduate's Magazine proposes a new remedy for the situation. Taking his cue from the satisfactory experience of English Universities, the author would attract wealthy men to Harvard by inaugurating a "gentleman's degree." He suggests that the change could be effected simply by making the tutorial system a "privilege rather than a requirement"; only men in the first four scholastic groups could consult tutors. Others would do no tutorial work, would not be required...
...Poensgen played their match, in the red-plush and gilt-scroll lodgeroom of the Elks' Club, they were the only undefeated players left in the tournament. Van Belle was nervous. Sitting in a stiff armchair, he puckered up his lips, blinked gloomily at the ivory joint of his cue while Poensgen had the table. He was only once able to get control of his game, for a brilliant run of 69, before Poensgen had the match 400 to 206. Poensgen was still undefeated when he played Soussa.

One wonders, for example, what the real scholars and scientists at Harvard think of 'scientific research in advertising...
...championship last week. Greenleaf's dignity did not permit him to emulate his confreres who, before a match, changed their dinner coats for black silk playing jackets. He wore his evening clothes throughout the tournament, entranced spectators by the suave and cautious ritual with which he filed his cue-point, sandpapered it, chalked it, then powdered his sharp-fingered hands. Only once was Greenleaf ruffled. That was in his seventh match when he missed his favorite cube of chalk. Puzzled, he asked his opponent, Andrew Ponzi, if he had seen it anywhere. ''I'm not sure...
