...CRIMSON was careful' to state that "until definite proof is offered, it were folly to assume that any special group is at fault." The grand jury investigation has given further proof of incendiarism. An inquiry into the situation at Worcester gives the reason for believing the "radical element" responsible...
...Yale is successful in solving this perplexing problem, it will settle a question which has been check-mating the greatest educators for many years. There is little doubt, however, that the present entrance requirements at Harvard are not within the grasp of any but the most intelligent and ambitious element of middle or far-western high school students. Most people believe that a larger representation of this class is highly desirable.

Flimsy as the plot may be, there is, nevertheless, a continual element of surprise running throughout the performance. The piece opens with an unusual and very ingonious prelude in three incidents, depicting in a convincing and amusing, fashion the love affairs of a popular society girl of the present generation. The element of surprise continues through a battle of wits between...
