Harvard students are, to say the least, conservative in their open expression of religious views. This does not mean that there is less religious thought, or philanthropic effort, contributed at Harvard than at other universities. We, as Harvard men are inclined to be conservative in all ways and it is natural that little or no expression is given to our accomplishments along religious lines. It is no wonder, then, that many undergraduates are totally ignorant of the tremendous amount of work done by Harvard students through the medium of Brooks House...
...highest ten records of the approximately 700 strength tests taken this half-year are printed below. As these tests are merely qualifying ones and are not made in a competition, they do not, in many cases, represent a man's utmost effort. The records are as follows: F. D. Huntington '12, 1303.2; F. H. Leslie '12, 1209.2; W. T. Gardiner '14, 1132.4; A. W. Moffat '13, 1061; C. C. Loomis '15, 1058.9; F. C. Paine '12, 1056.2; R. D. Walker '14, 1045.7; C. Mashima '12, 1045.7; G. McN. Miller '14, 1042.6; H. B. Gardner...
What must be the deduction from the figures? Obviously, that the graduates of the high schools, man for man, far outshine the graduates of the private schools in scholarship at College.

After all, this answer does little more than beg the question. "Outside activities" may be of great value in an all-round...
...Boston Elevated Railway Company is making extraordinary efforts to handle successfully the crowds that are expected to pour into the Stadium today. Between the hours of 12 o'clock and 1.30, and 4 and 5.30 o'clock the service will be increased 200 to 300 per cent. Cars will be run out of the Park street terminal as quickly as possible, and cars from Copley square will join them in an effort to take care of the crowds from the Back Bay. Heavy service will also be arranged for the Beverly street and Western avenue lines...
...writer of this morning's communication brings to light a deplorable condition of affairs. The white "H" on the red background at the Yale game last year was a feature of the cheering. Surely it requires very little effort on the part of those undergraduates who have seats in the cheering section to assure the success of the plan again this year. The failure of a few to join in vitiates the efforts of all. We have made up our mind that it is worth while to sing the "Marseillaise" on Saturday in the form of a living...
