...accepted unless one of the seats is for the personal occupancy of the applicant. For the other four application games, the number of tickets to each applicant will not be limited either as to number of tickets nor "personal use," but, in general, applications for "personal use" and for lesser numbers will be preferred in the allotment. For the Yale game, an application for a seat in the cheering section precludes the right to another seat. For the Princeton game this rule does not apply. There will be no cheering section for the other games, other than the regular...
...American colleges. Again the answer to it is found only in practical experience. Professional study leading to a man's career in life is, and ought to be, almost passionately absorbing in comparison with other subjects pursued at the same time. These are apt to be regarded as of lesser importance as outlying parts of the curriculum of the school somewhat arbitrarily forced upon the student, and not of direct value commensurate with the things needed in professional life. It is well-nigh impossible, for example, to persuade a student of law, medicine, or engineering that literature...
...recognizes the value of linguistic study, insistence on it means a neglect of Greek culture in translation for most people.--A small voice in a wilderness, perhaps, but one that deserves attention. P. Bradley '16 has written a chatty article on "Harvard Men in Washington," an account of the lesser lights of the administration that might be more comprehensive. "Campaign Work for College Men" by S. B. Hoar '15 is the sort of straightforward article that justifies the Illustrated's title of a "journal of Harvard men and affairs...
...playing of the almost discredited Brown eleven was wholly unforecasted by any previous work of the team. But while her attack had improved remarkably and her defence to a somewhat lesser extent the splendid showing of the Brown eleven was due in a large measure to the weakness of the Yale line. The playing of Captain Talbott strengthened the forward defence perceptibly, but upon his withdrawal the men seemed unable to put up a concerted opposition to the opponents' attack. Time and again the Brown backfield, headed by Murphy, slipped through holes for consistent gains. Yale used a substitute backfield...
...careful laboratory experimentation. The importance of this sort of investigation can hardly be overestimated. That it is fully realized in some quarters is evident from the fact that in Europe, especially in Germany, millions of dollars are annually expended in industrial chemical research. In America, too, although to a lesser extent, this side of technical chemistry is receiving increasing attention as the large research laboratories of the General Electric Company and the Du Pont Powder Company and many similar smaller laboratories show. This research has led to such results as the discovery of carborundum, the artificial production of indigo...
