...performance last evening went off smoothly, the acting as a whole was excellent, and the spoken German was remarkable for precision. K. Delbrueck 1G., of Berlin, played the difficult double role of Uncle and Newphew with skill and versatility. H. von Kaltenborn '09, as Oberst on Dorsigny, successfully adapted his acting and appearance to the demands of his part. Of the female parts, that of Frau von Dorsigny by C. O. Mueller '11, received the best interpretation. E. W. Friend '08, who played the part of Sophie, acquitted himself creditably, considering that he assumed the role when rehearsals were well...

We have great faith in the efficiency of the Athletic Committee and of Mr. Garcelon to deal with the athletic problem to the satisfaction of all. The Committee knows best just what reforms are needed, and just what reductions are possible without injuring the status of the sport. It has done a great deal to eliminate some of the chief objections to intercollegiate sport, and it will undoubtedly do more. In the end its aim is to be a leader in necessary reform; but such...
...information about Harvard, would be a list of all the men at Harvard from his own city or state. On such a list there would probably be the names of some men of whom he had heard, and on whose advice he could rely. It would not be a difficult matter for the University to prepare a list of the men in the University, both in the Faculty and in the student body, from each start and from each Western city of over thirty-five thousand inhabitants, and to mail such a list to the Western boy writing for information...
