West Point hops are justly famous. These hops are held three times a week during the camp season, and are always well attended. They lack, of course, the noisy gaiety and informality of college dances, but more than redeem the loss in color and tradition. At least the numerous fair visitors never complain of the lack of life in the parties. After all, nothing can compare with Cullom balcony under a full summer moon, dotted with quiet couples--splendidly gowned women and cadets in white starched uniforms--caught in the spell of dreamy music and the Hudson sweeping...
Thanks to a printer, a carpetmaker, a banker and a conductor, Worcester, Mass, (famed for machinery, wire and textile manufacturies) was treated last week to its 71st festival of music. Six years ago New England's oldest festival threatened to snuff out for lack of financial support. President Hamilton B.

The visit came somewhat as a surprise to many officials of the University as information of the intended call reached the Yard police only shortly before the event took place...
...position of a foreign student at any university is difficult. Barred from society through lack of acquaintanceships, and from American entertainment by taste, he is frequently left a little bewildered and entirely alone. At Harvard, because of its vast size, he may be completely disregarded. The Phillips Brooks House, realizing this danger, has established a committee to direct the welfare of the foreigner. It has made arrangements to bring the visiting students together, and what is far more vital, it has made possible contacts between Americans and Europeans...
