Although the measure has been disposed of, the situation is unchanged. In spite of five holidays and plans for festive Mondays, neither anthracite nor bituminous is more plentiful. The coal question remains a serious thing. It was thought that the Student Council's plan of early retiring and early rising would contribute Harvard's small share to the solution of this problem. The student body has thought otherwise. Among the opponents of this plan there were heard those who condemned official action and advocated individual effort. Let every individual have it as his duty to economize coal and its derivatives...
...Advocate that I have been teaching here at Harvard. Not only has it an unusual number of technical errors and of lapses in artistic taste, but its substance is thin. Of the 15 pieces in this number--an editorial article, a literary criticism, a narrative of the French front, five pieces of prose fiction and seven "poems"--only one poem, "Ode to the East Wind," by Mr. C.

The work normally done then would merely have been shunted onto the other five days and we should have gained nothing. As far as saving fuel is concerned the Monday-vacation scheme would have been of no avail. The Yard, as we understand, is heated by excess steam from the Cambridge Power Plant, which would have to keep open anyway. We would have saved nothing there. Dormitories would necessarily be open and light and heat would...
...final period of the University seven scored five times, showing improved team-work and more accuracy in shooting. R. E. Gross '19 scored after eight minutes and Rice caged two quick shots shortly afterward. Several substitutions failed to weaken the offence and H. F. Gibbs '20 scored the final two tallies in the last minutes of play...
