...Sanders Theatre does not take the place of the open-air concerts, for the presence of the Glee and Mandolin clubs would have added a great deal to the informal singing that has been attempted this spring. Nor does it seem probable that the songs, no matter how well-known to the Harvard men, would have been without interest in Class Day week when Cambridge is filled with visitors. Another year the Yard concerts should not be allowed...

"The Serious-Minded Student" takes himself so solemnly as to be fair game for his mates; but though the species is known, the sketch leaves the reader wondering whether this particular individual ever existed.

General Baron Kuroki, commander of one of the main Japanese armies during the whole of the war with Russia, and well-known as one of the most efficient officers in the field, will visit Harvard tomorrow. The General and nine Japanese officers, escorted by Brigadier General O. E. Wood and Major Lynch of the United States Army, will arrive in Boston tonight at 6 o'clock and will stay at the Hotel Touraine...
