...fact that there will be bare patches in the big steel stands is a boost for the judgment of Dr. A. Lawrence Lowell. When the football hysteria was at its height, when the undergraduate editors were shrieking themselves hoarse about overemphasis and when it looked as though the demand for seats and more seats would never be satiated, plans were drawn for a Stadium that would seat 120,000. But Dr. Lowell said, in effect: "Build in the open end of your Stadium, put in a permanent structure, but don't worry about handling more people than you can seat...
...team from football to chess reflected it, and lost gracefully to Yale with a consistency that enervated H men from the third story cheer leader to President Lowell. By Gad, there never was a class like 1925, and the old lack of spirit prompts one to rise up and demand that the College mend its ways. Are we men or are we mice? Come on, fellows. Let's get aport and not back the team the way we didn't back it in '25. Parke Cummings...
...hand, grant two course credit for their courses: this, of course, will require other adjustments; requirements for concentration will have to be altered to correspond; the double credit may be arranged by separating the courses involved into a laboratory course and a lecture course; concentration might then demand as many curses of both sorts as it does of the one sort now in use.

No comic possibility of the Tudor coarseness has been left unexplored, no detail in palatial decor neglected, no outlet for photographic ingenuity closed...

Dr. Krause should not allow his hatred of the Jews to blind him to that great bulwark to Nazi political theory which the Old Testament provides. He should demand that it be read by every young German, as the Reichsbishop, a cleverer man, has already done. I do not know if his doctorate was earned in Church History. Certainly it was not earned in the College of Propaganda. POLLUX...
