EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: The refinement of torture, the nightmare of the Mid-years, 36 per cent. is a thing of the past. E may bring despair, but not such exasperation. On the other hand, the uncompromising grind finds himself in A side by side with a lucky and judicious sport. It can no longer be said absolutely, "If you are good you will be happy but you won't have a good time." A premium has been taken off that mid-year knowledge - if knowledge it can be called - which is useful in the examination room and nowhere else...
...object to having the studious part of the college community exposed to the constant risk of being taken off their feet by the runners of the little coasters as they come flying down the slope.

To those whom no powers without nor inanity within can keep in Cambridge, we wish the best of good times...
Many poor struggling geniuses among us who feel that they have not done those things they ought to have done during the past term, are, about this time, revolving in their minds whether they will go home during the Christmas vacation or virtuously remain in Cambridge and grind. To all such good intentioned and hesitating students we would say, "Dont." Don't stay here, because you will not do enough work to give you one per cent. more at the mid years than you would otherwise have. Don't stay here and be uselessly miserable in thinking...
