...faults are only to be surmised. One might blame the general disinterest which undergraduates have come to show in many extra-curricular activities, but even this would not account for the small number of students attending the Club's performances; the atricals have yet to lose their hold on the youthful mind. This lethargic condition is, nevertheless, a possible cause by which to explain the come which surrounds the efforts of the organization. Another potential factor in the lack of college success which the Dramatic Club has met might lie in the direction and training of the plays direction which...
...Student's Room. Support and Maintenance. Since 1911 there have been been two organizations, the Phillips Brooks House Association and the Students' Association, to foster extra-curricular activities in the Medical School. These have sometimes been rivals, some-times complementary and always unnecessary by one. Their activities have fluctuated like a see saw with the Phillips Brooks House Association sitting on one end and the Students Association on the other. During the last three years the Phillips Brooks House Association has steadily mounted with the Student Association dipping downward. Such was the tendency until June, 1926, (an eventful date!) when...

Pursuing a definite artistic goal and making no attempt to cater to any other public than that of the highest artistic taste, the Glee Club has won for itself a reputation which bids fair to become international.

That the solution lies along the lines suggested by Dean Mendell is debatable. Any distinction based on curricular differences bids fair to promote specialization of the most doubtful value. The lead in educational theory today is rather one toward elimination of such artificial boundaries as those that exist between the several arts and sciences. The division of an English university into "pass' students and "honor" students must recommend itself as more likely to fit the situation. Such a distinction could well be established on a basis like that of the tutorial system as it is found at Harvard. More logical...
...Harvard Flying Club has entered its third year as a full fledged organization with its own airplane. Started on March 12, 1925, by R. H. Jackson '26, in its short life it has already shown that it deserves a place among the University extra curricular activities. The organization was incorporated by Raymond Baldwin...
