Faded, dirty, greasy hats; hats discouraged and dissolute, torn, broken, bent, crushed, tipsy; hats that have seen life and have not come back unstained; hats that have been curious about the scum of mankind only to have scum spattered upon them; hats that have lost their ideals, that no longer dream dreams or see visions; hats that have had the world too much with them--Harvard students wear them. Alas! these hats left in the Crimson Building will not be with us long. They...
