From the point of view of victories, this year's Cross-Country Team cannot be considered successful, but from the point of view of progress, (incidentally our aim), we cannot consider the season a failure. We at least broke into the winning habit when we defeated Princeton by a single point. In the Yale Meet our showing was very poor, and an alibi for a Yale meet is never offered. In the Intercollegiates the following week we ran without the help of two of our best men, namely Captain Bemis, John Harris, and Lutz running below form. J. W. Burke...
...Abbott points out, their doubts and fears are not warranted. What France did was the result of a mental habit entirely different from that of the other nations at the Conference. Where they have been only too glad to reach public opinion through the newspapers, she has given the press correspondents no idea of her true position. Where they have eagerly put their problems before the readers of the country, she, because her newspapers are different, thought her "case could wait until it was presented by diplomats to diplomats."

...There are two things that make for success and happiness in life", said Dr. Richard C.

...faults of meter and metaphorical language, lapses into the enigmatical.

The habit of implying rather than declaring plainly an idea has intruded even into the Pateresque editorial entitled "Many Seasons". The reviewer, as one who has suffered much from the obligation of reading authors who have reached a perilous stage in this habit, may be allowed to register here his mild protest...
...attempt to establish an invariable type, either intellectual, religious, or social, to which all must conform or be rejected. Strong and hard to combat are the influences which shame individuality, in matters of thought, dress or manner. Freshman regulations tend to destroy it as well as the prevalent habit of scoffing at anything new or different. No real need of such regulations exists: in the past have not Harvard Freshman classes prospered without them? Why, then, should anyone regret their absence? Of course excessive roughness must be smoothed; but too much milling robs the wheat of its strength. The position...
