...course, so unusual an experiment has had its critics. For instance, some think the accommodations too uniform; some complain that it will be a hardship on the very poor boys, who will no longer be able to shrink into remote quarters and hide their poverty. The answer to this is that the poor boy may learn in the cheerful air of comradeship, which should prevail here, that poverty implies no disgrace and is nothing to apologize for. To us the criticisms are hardly worth considering in comparison with the high aim, the democratic results, certain to be achieved...
...Massachusetts, crowned itself with laurel and avenged its former reverses of fortune, when it defeated the Yale chapter in the annual game on Soldiers Field Saturday afternoon. Broad-browed scholars who, though familiar with Newton's laws of motion, had never before tried the effect of willow on horse-hide, rose to the occasion and mashed the pill into a pulp.

Every Esstern college is eating from the hand that has robbed the pockets of the people...
...fifty-eighth volume with unfortunate emphasis of Mr. Moyse's immoderate panegyric on Clayton Hamilton. Its would-be maturity of vocabulary coupled with "superfluent enthusiasm" and disproportion in criticizing the Drama League and elaborating a pen-picture of the sentry, are symptomatic of the writer who seeks to hide in phraseology a poverty of ideas. The number proves worth while mainly in the diverting episodic sketch by Mr. Nathan, certainly in lighter vein, but well characterized and constructed with better sense of dramatic values than the same writer's dialogue, "The Coward." In this the blindness of Peggy is forced...
