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. Childs, Yale junior, suggesting that the Senior Societies be abolished by boycott, that the Junior class refrain from appearing "like slaves for sale upon the campus on Tap Day." The Yale Daily News, edited by juniors, and whose chairman is automatically in line for tapping, had printed Keysman Hobson's letter, and reprinted the Weekly editorials.

As a part of this life of ease...
...writer in the Saturday Review of Literature has commented on the weekend exodus from colleges with less satire and more acumen than was displayed in a recent article on the same subject in the Harkness Hoot. Various expedients have been suggested recently to relieve the tedium of the average academic Sabbath, but the one factor that is most in tune with the scholastic scheme of things has escaped observation...
