...this jesting is local, which is something very pleasing, and moreover decidedly intelligent--a great deal to say of a humorous paper in these days when Life exists only by virtue of fat Germans and suffragists, when Puck is little more than Semitic propaganda, and when Judge is pabulum for the barber-shop devotees. Lampy's quips, in addition, are courageous and independent...
...Turenne '21 and R. N. Knox '21 participated in the feature match of the day against D. Richardson and P. Richardson of Brookline, who put up the most consistent lobbing game seen on the local courts this season, but finally lost, 7 to 5, 6 to 3. F. C. Hanighen '21, E. D. Cumming '21 and R. R. Weaver '21 had no trouble in winning their singles matches in straight sets...

In this country, we have undoubtedly slipped into this tranquil stage behind the heavy barrage of the Loan campaign, which has given us little time for other things. Is the present...
...they say today, "Who would have supposed Willie would turn out to be so handsome in his new uniform?" Such a reversal of roles is worthy of an article by Mr. Shonts. Is it the war spirit, or what, that has driven the bride's gown into obscurity? The local paper no longer expatiates on "the bride's veil, which her great grandmother's aunt wore during the Revolution," but devotes a whole Society Note to an account of Lieut. Jones's activities at camp, his fighting ancestors, and the probability of his return as a colonel. --New York...
