...plans the subject of the contest will be announced by the University Debating Council on April 22, the first day following the spring recess. The privilege for the final wording of the question would be granted to Yale, who is to announce the definite phrasing of the subject not latter than April 25. If Yale changes the time of the final debate, these dates would correspondingly be advanced one week...
...second outdoor game of the season between the two nines yesterday afternoon, the Freshmen defeated the University team by a score of 7 to 6. This victory makes up for the 1921 aggregation's defeat at the hands of the University in Friday's game, which the latter won by a score of 9 to 6.

At examination time, the student proceeds to spew forth,--there is no better word,--on the examination book the material which he has periodically accumulated...
...best points in this special number do not concern the radio men particularly. "Summe Olde Stuffe" is within range of being a classic. Written in imitation of Chaucer (on a guess), it has the sprightly and clever versification that only F. P. Adams or a few other latter day wits could give it. And its apt illustration is an artful...
