...position of the Faculty makes this impossible, the question confronts the Athletic Committee of making the compromise which will be most satisfactory to the University as a whole. They have submitted such a proposal. The question now arises: Is this the most satisfactory solution of the difficulty? Is it fair that the minor sports should bear the whole brunt of this curtailment? Hockey, basketball, and the other minor sports have always furnished exercise and recreation for a large number of men who are unable to take part in the major sports.

...third public performance of "Bartholomew Fair," the Delta Upsilon play for this year, will be given in Brattle Hall this evening at 8 o'clock. Tickets at $1.50 and $1 may be obtained at Thurston's or Herrick's, or from W. L. Stevens '08, Weld...

The success of the play does not hang on the plot, which is slender, but on its unusual scenes, its swift action, its stinging satire and the spirited delineation of character. The performance last night was remarkably smooth, the cast of thirty-four persons being of more than average ability. C. B. Wetherell '08 played Overdo, the pompous justice of the peace, with signal success. H. R. Shipherd '08 was successful throughout in his rendering...
