...House Committee, meeting formally with the Heads of all the Houses, for the purposes of settling dates, arrangements, and general business, and acting as a clearing house for all the Houses. Such a Committee should certainly now be set up to avert possible repetition of such embarrassments, and should function with all the paraphernalia of minutes, notices, and parliamentary procedure. The heads of the House Committees should bear the responsibility of inaugurating such an inter-House Committee, and of giving it the backing of all the Houses in the system.

...last two years the function of the committee has rapidly expanded. By February, its chairman is better fitted to deal with class affairs than anyone else living in the Yard. At that time he is thrown into the discard because of an election of a class president, a position that today is both meaningless and unsound.

When Baker left Harvard, the Club was expected to carry on its function, quite regardless of the fact that it no longer had University support and that those most interested in the stage were following Baker into the hinterland insead of coming here. Despite this handicap, the remaining members of the Club took seriously their task of forwarding the cause of progressive drama. By hard work not unmixed with inspiration, they contrived to make the Club...
