From his abode under the shadow, so to speak, of the founder's statue he will set forth not toward the massive Norman portal of Sever, or the Georgian chastity of Harvard but in a very different direction. For it is quite as it should be, that on ordinary days he should busy himself in plucking, as he remarked earlier in the year, the flowers which might else blush unseen but by a few in the "Announcement of Courses...
...Georgian period in Southern football retained ascendancy: Georgia Tech torturing North Carolina 13-0; Georgia burning Auburn 33-3.

The Freshman Dormitory System, eminently an expression of the new Harvard, has proved its worth. In thirteen years it has become so integral a part of the University that one wonders whether or not its value is restrictive to a larger Harvard--whether it would not have greatly added to that smaller and more centralized institution whose era preceded...
