...annual momentous interview with a CRIMSON reporter, Max Keezer, Cantabridgian wit, famed vendor and buyer of Harvardian habiliments, and unofficial plainclothes man of Harvard Square, brought several more of those first hand coups de maitre of a master wit into the limelight for posterity.

But there are more modern notables to take their places. Max Keezer, supersleuth, will not soon be forgotten, and the historic remark of Arthur Clement: "The patrol wagon was the only safe place in the Square," will go down through the years even as Mr. Jones's sign. And to uphold professorial traditions, Professor Whitney is strenuously preparing himself against...
