From an undergraduate viewpoint, the chief fault of the present House dances is that they almost invariably lose money, but this is an evil which only experience can cure, and it is not one that concerns the University. The only charge that the Dean's Office can legitimately lay on House doorsteps is that their dances bring undue notoriety to the College. It should be remembered, however, that this odor of debauchery is smelled only by the bluer noses of Boston society, and is nothing to the nation-wide publicity that would attend a University "trot...
...primary source of evil in the present setup of the Olympics is that the games are too large. It is not that too many nations participate, for the brotherhood of sports ought to include every country in the world. The trouble is that there are too many events, more than 150 of them at the Berlin Games, including many like women's sports that have no real justification for inclusion and many like architecture which Germany brought in at the last minute to win points.

Last week Author Zweig published the fourth volume of Grischa's moral story. A long and involved book called The Crowning of a King, it deals, superficially, with the intrigues of the German general staff over the selection of a king...
...well taken, for obviously a new Council may be unwilling to undertake an investigation left over from the previous year's program. Suggestions, not orders, are all that should be passed on. Together, the two reports by the Committee on Research were a startling expose of the double evil in Harvard of poor teaching, due to the pressure of research, and of one-sided distribution of funds to departments. The investigation last fall into the collection for a Spanish ambulance taught the Council that it should supervise more carefully appeals to undergraduates for money. In connection with the question...
