...criticise the attitude of the Monthly in its jumbled and undigested potpourri of fact and fantasies has actually drifted into a narrow defence of CRIMSON standards. Such is not my object. The CRIMSON may fairly be criticised more than almost any undergraduate organization because its possibilities of good and evil are great. Let it not be forgotten, however, that it takes longer hours and more persistent hard work to get elected to its board than to win almost any other distinction in the College. Let it not be forgotten that although its standards may not be as high as they...
...Quietly and without cant, the Senior Council and the Senior Class have done something for Princeton's good. The members of the Council unanimously came to the decision that wearing club colors in Princeton was an unnecessary evil and acting on their conviction, quit wearing them. The question was then brought before the Senior sections of the various clubs, and the matter was carefully considered from every point of view.

Crowded into small galleries, lockers are jammed tightly together, unventilated, dust-covered and filled with malodorous clothing. It does not seem too much to ask of the gymnasium authorities that the windows be opened and the galleries aired as much as possible, and that the lockers themselves be rearranged in order to secure adequate ventilation. Or even, if this last consummation be unattainable, they might be cleared out and cleaned at frequent intervals. Their present state...
...editorial in Saturday's CRIMSON in regard to the method of conducting section meetings seems to me to be very good as far as it goes, but I do not think that it reaches the real root of the evil. I believe the true source of the trouble lies not so much in the method of conducting these meetings, as in the section men themselves. To these men is often entrusted the whole conduct of the course. They read the weekly papers, grade the hour examinations, theses, and finals. The professor often gives these men absolute power over the grades...
