...came on purpose to see the Arnold Aroboretum," said Mrs. Henry Ford when she arrived in Boston last week. And in Philip Hale's column of the "Herald" Saturday, a correspondent remarked that it one wanted to know the significance of Pippa's. "All's right with the world," it was only necessary to go to the Aroboretum on a warm spring day. Like the Glass Flowers, the Arnold Arboretum is something that students are more familiar with by name than by experience. Outsiders make it a Mecca to be numbered with the Paul Revere House and the Museum...
...American college too much under the influence of German educational standards in that it tends to "put technique before pure science, philology before literature, facts before ideas, classifications before generalizations"? A French professor who spent some time in Yale is quoted in the New York Herald as believing that it is. Facts are the basis of knowledge, but they are only the basis, and it is this latter truth which American students fail...
...most correct English I heard during my short visit to the United States two years ago came from the mouth of a red-cap in Boston!" says St. John Ervine in a recent article in Vanity Fair; and almost simultaneously appears a letter in the Boston Herald scoring the use of a glaring split infinitive in the correspondence of the Associated Harvard Clubs.

If one counts the "H" men who scored yesterday for the Crimson but five will be found who had tallied in former battles with Yale. Spirit...
...Collier", in a recent cartoon in the Boston Herald, has suggested that crooks and yeggs are becoming more sociable; and that if they continue in their present ways of politeness they should have no trouble in "breaking into society". A hint that is timely for the Senior Yeggs who will be operating today on the embattled steps of Widener. So long as the graduating class must trespass upon the prerogative of banditry, it should do it in the most approved and up-to-date fashion. The Freshmen must not be cajoled by mid-Victorian methods; and the dignity...
