...have been published with the knowledge of the officers, but it is at least the first time that the dead silence hanging over University Hall has been broken. To the fire of criticism and comment which has been trained upon the administration there has hitherto been no return. Harsh critics have said that this silence implied guilt, or if not guilt, at least an arrogant contemptuousness. Whether the return fire is directed from within or not, it is well that this provoking silence is ended...
...alumni would only look into the facts before throwing brickbats," exhorts Mr. Allen; ah! indeed, but from whom are they going to get the facts? Everybody can not be connected officially with the University. It is clearly in the hands of the administration to make these facts avoilabel: and hitherto, interested observers have looked in vain for them, even in the President's Report.

Another unique feature of the design is the tractor propeller. Hitherto, flying boats have been built with the engine mounted behind the pilot and passengers, with the propeller pushing-convenient in docking but offering always the possibility of the engine landing right on top of the personnel. The amphibian with its engine in front avoids this danger. The engine is inverted to improve the pilot's vision and works apparently even better in this position. This expedient, simple as it may appear, has a great military value. In spite of its novel characteristics and multiple function, the new plane...
This lady's sentiments so exactly accord with those of millions of Harvard men that we are convinced that she ought to be put on the board of overseers; indeed, ought to go higher. Why should not Harvard have a female president? None of the incumbents hitherto have ever had a tithe of her enlightenment. Do away with examinations, do away with the unworthy prying into the amount of knowledge possessed by these innocent victims; above all, do away with any power of inquisition into the amount of work they have done...
