...College who failed to sign the Student Council section of the registration cards, and whose names are therefore missing from the Geographical Directory List. In order to make the list complete before going to press, and thus fulfill the purpose of the Directory, any one who is in any doubt as to whether he signed the proper card at the time of registering, is urged to send his name, home address, and college address to K. W. Snyder '14 Thayer 28, as soon as possible...
...Holmes Field, R. N. Williams, Jr., '16 defeated J. J. Armstrong '14 in straight sets 6-4, 6-4, 6-1. Although Armstrong played a hard, clever game, showing great speed and often using his chop-strokes with telling effect, the issue of the match was never in doubt.

Armstrong frequently weakened in his service and made many doubles, in sharp contrast to his opponent...

Mr. Rogers is to be thanked for saying that so well. But the conclusion of the homily will certainly be dangerous doctrine for Freshmen unless it is very carefully read and perhaps even then. It seems to mean that in this strange, new college world the things...
...with more radical notions than they--thank Heaven!--"have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in.' And they are no Hamlets either! For instance, while I was lecturing, a strike of street-car men was going on. I do not doubt the striking employees had their 'grievances' and sufficient cause for self-assertion; it was, however, no affair of the undergraduate world. Yet a contingent of those half-baked boys must needs side with the strikers, making stump speeches about the rights of man, and joining generally in the hullabaloo. They...
