Here one comes upon a confusion which certainly is true of the opinion of many here at Harvard. Looking, as Mr. Pingree probably did at the graduate students in the arts and sciences, one thinks them a sorry lot. Many of them are.

Most of them are lucky to get their Master's degree. Not a few get no degree at all. If more of those who see in a momentary liking...
...judges sitting on the jury of awards for the Institute's International Exhibition. The jury members were: Pierre Bonnard of Paris, Giovanni Romagnoli of Bologna, Charles Sims of London, and three U. S. artists: Charles W. Hawthorne, Howard Giles and Gifford Beal.

Nearly every one recognized the next anthem without difficulty, "The Star Spangled Banner," which heralded the performance of the champion U. S. school orator, Herbert Wenig of Los Angeles. Herbert repeated the piece...
...have said much, either way. Yale teams develop late and Dartmouth has, for nearly three years, been undefeated in the East. But when Yale, with a passing game, scored a touchdown in the third and another in the last period to beat Dartmouth, 14 to 7, people said a lot, both ways...
