...best of the lot-he was on last year's team; Dickson, Pearsall, Thatcher, Ruetter, Leighton and Shape are other promising candidates. Sherrill is the best catcher on the squads, but is ineligible until the later games. Sherrill was Oberlin's crack back-stop last year. Schwartz will no doubt do the bulk of the catching. Coombs, Hodge and Lucas are also trying for catcher...
...there had been some recognized outline for the development of even the Yard property, the Corporation would have been able to say; "if your building comes up to certain specifications we will give you such and such a site, otherwise it is impossible to make you any promises." No doubt when they made the promise the Corporation had some site in mind for a $300,000 structure such as Brooks House was purposed to be; now they feel that to give a $50,000 building such a site would be a waste of needed ground, and they are therefore forced...

If an insult were intended to Professor Wendell surely something would have been done which would have left us in no doubt as to the intention. As to the insult to the class suggested by the writer in Wednesday's CRIMSON, I think the laughter at the time of the interruption to the lecture puts that well out of question. Granting that the trick was foolish, granting that it was, meaningless (which would...
