The writer complained of Harvard's refusal to join a convention which met in New York last fall, and thought that football matches could be arranged with out much difficulty if a meeting were held at some half-way point to draw up a set of rules by which games between the two Colleges could be governed.

For so long as the makers of machinery, the builders of bridges, or the patrons of the subways are satisfied with slipshod work, "Thrillers", and the sort of books that are cluttering the presses today, so long will that class of writing crowd all the rest out of the market. There must be well-grounded appreciation, and some effort to meet the author half-way, before anything lasting can be accomplished. St. John Ervine's suggested moratorium...
