...Hollis St. Theatre last evening in "Impulse." The success they scored was as instantaneous as that which rewarded their efforts last week. Mrs. Kendal, always fascinating and refined, imparts her own personality to every role she essays.

These charming actors will be seen this evening and in Wednesday's matinee in "Impulse;" Wednesday evening in the "Weaker Sex;" Thursday evening...

It is indeed too often true that college men think only of what the college may do for them, and forget, or at least disregard, their own duties to the college. What we need to do here is to exercise our freedom in a manly direction. After all, it is not athletics nor even endowments and advantages which make the college-but men. Thus it is that the present and the future usefulness and worth of Harvard must be largely of our own making...
