...flowers for their boxes at the Union dance on Monday may get them at reduced rates by ordering through the Committee. Flowers will be delivered in the Union on the evening of the dance. Those who wish to take advantage of this opportunity must send their orders, stating the kind of flowers they wish and inclosing a check to pay for them, to H. S. Blair, Harvard Union. No order will be accepted after Saturday...
...argument that constant sport turns a man from his studies is equally absurd. If a man wants to study, there is plenty of time to do so; and if he doesn't wish to study more than the minimum required, no restriction of the kind that this rule enforces will compel him, or even incline him, to study more.

The story would be improved by a little more reasonableness of action--not reason; far be that from Boola Ban! Even foolishness, however, has its foolish laws, and there is a kind of absurd orderliness in nonsense. In the story "Getting Agnes," by J. L. Warren '08, there is not enough drawing of character to make one willing to forgive the commonplaceness of the theme. Perhaps it is the attitude of the pedagogue that prejudices me in favor of the Professor...
