...advise every Freshman, no matter how strong his prejudices, to attend this meeting tonight. Dean Brown is a man who should be heard; his work at New Haven has placed him among the big men of Yale. He has been President Hadley's adjutant in making important developments. He must be given more than a slight share of the credit which is due the Yale faculty for the college's part in military preparation. More pertinent, he is a man whom Yale undergraduates like to hear speak. Thus if there are any Nathaniels in the Class...
Upon considering the matter we are somewhat in doubt just which model Mr. Ford considers his pleasure car. The undergraduate body is bewildered; some of us never knew that the notorious "flivver" ever went under the incognito name of a pleasure car. It is baffling in the extreme. Ford owners deny that their car belongs to the class of pleasure vehicles; they admit that they have had service from the automobile, but never enjoyment.

In some battalions it may seem advisable to make a complete change of officers earlier than in others but in the course of the year an opportunity to compete...
...shipped all London's red tape to "blighty" or as that Guy Empey might say, "west"; south would be more to the correct atmospheric direction. One half of the classes are at war and probably the situation is a case of shipping red tape even in such a minor matter as Harvard's class elections. Let us think...
