...recent editorial in the "CRIMSON" mentioned Mr. Laski's remark as to the right of any and all labor to organize as it wished: and by a remarkable feat of legerdemain transformed this opinion into a mere dislike for the person of Commissioner Curtis. Although I do not know Mr. Laski personally, I feel certain that it will be a very shocking thing for him to find himself so completely whitewashed into orthodoxy, despite his manifest pride in maintaining his bizarre views...
...Hamlets of our time, it is not too much to say that Mr. Hampden's presentation is worthy of taking rank among the traditions of our stage. In person, in voice, in acting, Mr. Hampden presents a Prince of Denmark who is a troubled human being rather that a mere deliverer of theatric monologues.

This fact the Freshmen should recognize, to the exclusion of the idea that it is "compulsory." In short, when finally approved by the Board of Governors, the introduction of compulsory physical training will represent a great step forward...
...course the mere establishment of the Charles W. Eliot Fund for a Harvard Educational School will not mean the development of an immediate cultural Utopia in New England. But at the same time it is a most generous initial step in a campaign, which is bound to come, if America is to continue to turn out ever more completely educated men to cope with her problems at home and abroad...
