...Hasty Pudding Theatre on December 14 and 15, and in Copley Hall, Boston, December 116 and 18. The curtain will rise at 8.15 o'clock and dancing will follow the performances on December 14-and 16. The play, "The Perverseness of Pamela," by Virginia Church, is a delightfully keen comedy in three acts, dealing with the social intrigues and amusing side of life at a well-known army post. The chief figure, of course, is Pamela, an irresistible, charming, incorrigible young lady who keeps everyone in a high state of excitement. This play was highly commended by the judges...
...Harvard presented for consideration a great football eleven, a team which was perfect to the last detail. To borrow from the baseball vernacular, she had everything--rushing, forward-passing, good tackling, keen following of the ball, ability to hold the pigskin, mechanical precision, general football sense, and excellent punting.

It resembled the Harvard team that met Cornell about as much as Yale resembled Harvard on Saturday, which is to say there was no resemblance.

The CRIMSON has suggested that the lecture system is a dulling waste of time which should be given to a keen inter-play of professional and student minds; that in theoretical courses especially it is of little value. Says President Foster: "You can lead a man to lectures, but you cannot make him think--at least not often by this, the easiest of all methods of instruction...
...having tied last year's championship eleven, next came to Cambridge and after the test at the Stadium went back to Pennsylvania with a 13 to 0 defeat. Although the Harvard line was inferior, and the interference still noticeably weak, Captain Mahan's brilliant play and Parson's keen following of the ball gave the University two touchdowns, which proved decisive. In this game there appeared for the first time an embryonic power in the University's attack, ragged but great, for the second score was the direct result of an impressive drive down the field of 82 yards...
