...living Harvard graduate would be able to make some contribution to the support of the University. The money which is collected in this way will be given over to the President and the Fellows of the University for unrestricted use for whatever purpose seems necessary. It has long been felt in the University that there are many matters which are not covered by specific grants and that by means of the Fund, resources will be available adequately to take care of these departments...
...Even the Medieval Church felt the incongruity of such [mundane] decorations and invented the solemn theory that the carved grotesquery (gargoyles, dragons, animals and devils) was intended to represent evil spirits turned by divine power into stone. But it is inconceivable that any such theory can justify Mr. Cram's design.

The tape was supporting some small, cold, metallic object. He wrenched it loose, the Evening World's "magic key," and returned to the Pulitzer Building. There he explained to Douglas Fairbanks-who had been retained for the occasion to hand out the $1,000-what...
...Most of the Committee felt that the forward pass was tending to overbalance the game because of the skill of some college teams," was the statement issued to a CRIMSON reporter, by F. W. Moore '93, Harvard's representative on the Committee. "We decided that we needed something to check the overuse of the pass. Football was resolving itself into a game of basketball. The new rule was merely adopted to curb the so-called 'wild' passes which usually feature the end of a close game. It will not effect the use of legitimate forward passing...
