...University and who know it intimately, like to find the centre of interest; it is not a wise suggestion which would separate the exercises of graduation and the centres of University life. Then, too, the journey to and from the Stadium, especially if the weather is not ideal, will be the object of no pleasant anticipation and no grateful memory--except that it might furnish gayety to the uninvited rabble who would doubtless gather as if the affair were a horse race or county fair...
...acting throughout was of exceptional excellence, and illustrated one notable ideal of the German theatre--the attainment of a well-rounded performance, instead of the exploitation of one or two stars surrounded by novices. Fraulein Frey played the part of an ingenuous young girl with great skill, and Fraulein von Ostermann that of a modern society woman with charm and grace. Herr von Seyfertitz's impersonation of a woman was highly skilful, and Herr Ottbert's acting was perfectly natural in both the play by Goethe and that by Fulda.

...bronze statuettes by the sculptor R. Tait McKenzie of Montreal, representing the ideal college athlete and the typical sprinter, were yesterday placed on exhibition in the Co-operative store, where they will remain on view for the next three days. The figure of the athlete was made at the suggestion of the Society of College Gymnasium Directors on the basis of measurements supplied by Dr. D. A. Sargent from about five hundred Harvard students who have during the last ten years been distinguished in various forms of athletics, including football, rowing, and track athletics. It represents an athlete...
