...Siren, now visiting lecturer at Harvard, has made a study of this picture and says of it: "The Fra Filippo now on exhibition in the Fogg Museum is one of the master's most interesting works. It is of unusual artistic charm and historical importance. There are, as we know, only two paintings by this master in American collections. The one is the picture formerly in the Allessandri Palace, now in the Morgan Library, which unfortunately has been cut into three pieces; the other, which is at the Boston Museum, is an altar wing showing four Saints.

...their signed applications. Even a system of espionage is justified; and the worst offenders, if caught, should be mercilessly discharged from the University. They will never do it honor. The CRIMSON will be glad to open its columns to the publication of names of such men, that all may know,--let us not mince matters,--who the thieves...
...easy to exaggerate the amount of "gerund-grinding" done in college courses.

...fellow-students. This question may best be answered by the statement that this year, 102 men registered at the Student Employment Office as desiring this sort of work. Of this number 44 were experienced. That there is this demand, and especially that men who have done the work and know what it is wish to do more of it, seems to dispose conclusively of this objection. It is hardly clear just why such employment works to a man's disadvantage any more than any other...
