...essay writing with a gusto that is encouraging and convincing. Casting a strict literary tradition aside she publishes in her current Spring number a thoughtful article that scrapes the sham off of the English Department and one that at the same time puts both modern architecture and the Harkness Hoot in their places. In fact, the Advocate has, in its conservative manner, gone "Hoot". Its editorial gives every indication that it intends to continue this newly established policy. The writing of essays on subjects of vital interest is surely within its province. The only regret on Mother Advocate's rejuvenation...
Having demolished, brick by brick, the architectural monstrosities of Yale and fashioned, with some degree of acumen, a literary bludgeon against the social customs of that University, William Harlan Hale, co-editor of The Harkness Hoot has gone farther afield. He has taken Harvard and Princeton, along with Yale, to be his province, and widened his vehicle by means of the columns of the New Republic...
Last week the Weekly continued its attack, said "its importance warrants full discussion by the Yale public." And in The Harkness Hoot, newest, most forthright of Yale journals, appeared "The Elks in Our Midst," by Richard S.

...proposal of the corporation to build a great new chapel as a war memorial. The New York Times ridicules the protest, saying: "Some of the children are bawling in the college papers": "So the infants bleat"; and more to the same effect. One of the editors of the Harkness Hoot, in a letter to the Yale Daily News, strongly supports the CRIMSON. The honors, in our judgment, rest with the younger generation. The grounds of objection to the proposed memorial actually set forth by both the editors and the contributors of the CRIMSON seem to us evidence of a sound...
