James Michael Curley, the "Peoples' Choice," jovially asserted in an interview with the CRIMSON yesterday that "a poll taken by the students of Harvard University would not differ in any respect so far as a Democrat is concerned from a similar poll conducted by the Ward 17 Tammany Club so far as a Republican would be concerned. It does not require either the gift of prophecy or occultism to determine very definitely the result of such a poll...
Bingham, feeling that the menus of the two teams might differ somewhat, and that the pre-game tenseness would not make for easy conversation, suggested in turn, to Professor Coolidge that the dinner be held on Saturday evening after the Stadium encounter, and that the entire squads, coaching staffs and members of the Athletic Committees be present.

...Critic was started originally on the catch-phrase "Difference not Indifference"--and the aim is not unpraiseworthy, for it predicates the existence of opinion, of something on which to differ.

Whether this attitude is an expression of perennial Harvard indifference or a justified conclusion is uncertain. The aim of the Critic is to deny both; to deny by proving the contrary, by publishing specimens of undergraduate talent...

I have no objection to forbidding certain movies to be seen by minors. But in the case of censoring movies for adults, questions of personal liberty -and of minority rights-are involved...
Individual efforts will, of course, differ, but it is clear that all three universities are working toward the same educational ideal: to allow undergraduates to obtain a more complete, unified and a deeper grasp of specialized fields of study, and to place more intellectual responsibility upon the shoulders of the student himself. At the same time there is the desire, being gradually accomplished to raise higher and higher the educational standards of the universities, adapting the program more and more to the needs of the advanced and brilliant student and less and less to the lacks and gaps...
