...seasons ago a stimulating comedy, hight "Beggar on Horseback", graced our stage. It was the translation by two young men, Connelly and Kaufman, of a German idea into American manners and language. They were acclaimed, justly, as play-wrights of promise and the world settled back to await more words of wisdom from them. In time, their partnership was dissolved but now one of them has broken his silence.

This will prevent my hearing Professor Edgell in his lecture on Fifteenth Century Architecture at Fogg. But this Vagabond has as yet failed to develop a dual personality--and the name Borrow has such charm...

E. Bacon were present in addition to the undergraduate members of the committee. J. D. DuBois '24, chairman of the committee, read that part of his report on the year's work which dealt with proposed changes in policy for the coming year...
