...terms of the new rates are fair enough. Abandoning the old "maximum plan," which counted in extra meals only to the $10.50 mark, may excite some opposition, but it can be regarded as a just measure to help support the lowered rates. Whatever halo may still hover over the roof of Lehman Hall is quickly dissipated by a consideration of the means utilized literally to compel men to sign for the twenty-one meal ticket. Twenty-one meals a week will cost nine dollars; fourteen meals would be priced at $.7.75. Between the two limits one finds seven meals...
...Emmaus is carved on the front face of the capital to the left of the Madonna and Child statue. Christ is here seen holding the Resurrection Cross as he meets the two disciples who carry pilgrim's staffs. The Resurrection Cross has been badly damaged.

Yale University, much to its probable discomfiture, has hatched another crop of mosquitoes to edit again the Harkness Hoot. These young posts hover over Yale's precious architecture, thumb their noses at its partially Gothic elegance, refuse to be in any way cowed by the Harkness millions, and take an unholy delight in the inconsistencies they see taking shape around them--particularly in the Gothic exterior of Pierson-Davenport College and its Georgian inner court. They helpfully offer as their own proposed Yale building a drawing of a very prettily designed small church of American colonial architecture topped with...
