Concussion was treated by the players in general as a trivial injury and rather regarded as a joke. The real seriousness of the injury is not certain. Our own experience with the after-effects of the cases if not sufficient for us to draw any definite conclusions, but from conversation with various neurologists, we have obtained very various opinions in regard to the possibility of serious after-effects...
...graduates' night, both in a better knowledge of the parts and in promptness of delivery and action, and was enthusiastically received. C. Kempner '06, as Truewit, the gay and debonair young knight, who was ever ready to scheme for the welfare of his friends and who dearly loved a joke, carried off his part with remarkable grace and vivacity. The part of Sir Amorous La-Foole, an affected and obsequious today, who had a great opinion of the La-Foole family and of everything which belonged to them, was admirably interpreted by A. M. Hurlin '06. His mock quarrel...

...last number of the Lampoon contains three jokes. Two of these are drawings; the other is a clipping from the CRIMSON. Of the humorous drawings, the "Freshman impressing his family with his college experiences," is an excellent bit of characterization accomplished with few strokes; while the Hi. mister! scramble a nut," gives us something really new and refreshing on the squirrel question. A page drawing by Breck '07, is without character, and forms an excellent illustration for the accompanying "joke." The idea expressed in the centre page is of well tried excellence, but careless drawing makes it less effective than...
