...Recent Political Ideas. None of these concern themselves with American government, and treats the Soviet principle only as a part of the general history of political ideas. We do not agree with Mr. Laski's remarks before the Policemen's Union, nor do we believe his presence there good taste. But we feel equally that any attack on the right of any member of the Faculty to say what he wants is to be resented. The Transcript is attempting to bring pressure to bear on Harvard to remove one of its instructors by stirring up parents "from Maine to California...
...Good student guides and plenty of them are needed. The college has not lacked them in the past and should not now, especially when the rate of pay has been raised.

U. or any other organization for attempting to curtail the use of this rather unnecessary and not universally worshipped vegetable, seems to me somewhat like shutting the doors and windows of a smoke-filled room while some one else is trying to ventilate...
...outclassed the University. It was in this department that Brett, the star half-back for the opponents particularly shone. For Harvard, Captain T. C. Wales '21, G. S. Morse '22, E. H. Stillman '21, and R. P. Parker '22 did consistent work, Morse and Wales making a number of good gains, whereas Parker and Stillman shared the punting honors. J. S. Higgins '20 made all the kick-offs...
