...some graduate student speaks, who has recently come to know the joy of sustained effort in preparation for a profession. It is worthy of note that CRIMSON editors (at least after they have made the board) sometimes attend lectures; that they are undergraduates; and that they have not long here below in this college world. When the CRIMSON editor has worked through the grades of his apprenticeship and reaches the presidency of the paper, he has one short half-year of life and then passes on to make way for a successor; his skill is necessarily gained late. These...
...other colleges have spoken to the present writer with approbation of the CRIMSON's editorials, while condemning certain other features. As for "vapidity," "straddling," let those answer who remember the CRIMSON's pacifist days, or the attacks on crew policy, or the CRIMSON's insist ant demand for war long before it was declared. Some of these editorial stands aroused antagonism which has not yet died out. Before the war, a committee of graduates collected a fund and sent selected men to flying schools to learn aviation. One of the men chosen was a CRIMSON editor, but after...
...studies, just as the Bachelor of Science is a degree in scientific studies. Our Faculty in general is predisposed in favor of Greek, and is doing all it can to encourage the study of this subject as one of the most important elements in a liberal education. For a long time it has, however, been increasingly difficult and indeed often impossible for men who wished to pursue liberal studies to prepare themselves to meet Princeton's entrance requirements in Greek.

The inauguraters of these changes seem not to care whether a man thinks, so long as he is a good cog in the machine of government...
...drill hall will at once be turned over to the newly established Harvard Engineering School for use as a laboratory for mechanical engineering. It is a large building, 280 feet long and 100 feet wide, with a power house immediately adjacent to it, and when fitted out will offer unusually ample facilities for laboratory work in mechanical engineering. It will also enable the electrical laboratories located in Pierce Hall to more than double their present capacity, and will increase as well the laboratory facilities in sanitary engineering and metallurgy...
