...interest, just what are the "old Harvard songs"? One graduate, when confronted with this question, after having bemoaned their death at the hands of the Glee Club, stammered out, "Johnny Harvard", and found himself at loss to go further. Needless to say, that song has now found a (watery) grave! As for other songs of that type, not distinctly pertaining to Harvard, such as "The Tavern in the Town", "Spanish Cavalier", and the like,--the Glee Club has no desire to cut short their deserved existence.

After inferring the grave possibility that the Advocate leans too hard on our courses in English Composition, Mr. Allen concludes that "An excellent theme may or may not be interesting to the general reader."

...founded (and the place of the law and the lawyer in that historic episode is written large on the pages of history) when the world needed tough minded, straight thinking, Anglo-Saxon lawyers so much as it needs them today. Out of the upheaval of the war have come grave problems of social, industrial and political readjustment comparable to those which faced the American colonies in 1783, and if these are to be met and solved with any degree of enduring success, they must be met and solved by the same straight thinking, forward looking processes of thought and action...
