...publishing in another column this morning a communication urging the preparation every year of a Freshman photograph album, so that the members of the class might learn to know each other earlier in their College course. Although we are not particularly in favor of this artificial mode of making acquaintances, we realize with the writer the necessity of strengthening the unity of the various Freshman classes. As conditions are at present, it is not until the end of his Senior year that the average undergraduate really feels that he knows the men of his class, and anything which could bring...
...continuance save its antiquity. We refer to the ringing of the College bell every morning at 7 o'clock. In most instances the College authorities have allowed the students to regulate their personal habits in their own way, but in this case there is a notorious exception. The mode of life at the University has so changed in recent years that most students find no occasion whatever for rising before 8 o'clock. Why, then, should those who live within sound of this bell be subjected to a continual annoyance? The 7 o'clock clang performs no conceivable useful function...
...hockey season is short, covering but six or seven weeks, it takes few men away from Cambridge at any time, offers an excellent mode of outdoor exercise, has none of the abuses of other sports, employs no professional coaches, has few injuries, and gives the required amount of outside interest during a period when college life is extremely dull. We do not wish to see the baseball or football schedules cut down, but it would seem far wiser to take off some of their many games than make a total abolition of so excellent a sport as hockey...
...Athletic Committee requiring the minor teams to be self-supporting. This rule, the writer contends, has done exceedingly little good and a great deal of harm, especially in promoting a competitive system of subscription-soliciting among aspirants to the position of team managers. The evils of the present mode of attaining the-end insisted upon by the Athletic Committee are feelingly, told, but the writer does not continue himself to adverse criticism-always an easy matter-he puts forward a plan for which he claims the striking advantage of doing away with the insufferable subscriptions and the placing...
...verse, Mr. Powel's "Love Song a la Mode," gracefully and lightly makes the best of modern conditions. "Up in the Old Church Tower," by Mr. Husband, is perhaps the best thing in the number. The lines are good, and a simple and genuine mood irresistibly communicates its vision and its feeling to the reader. It touches and awakens response as Mr. Wheelock's "The Ghost to his Beloved" fails to do. There the lyric cry falls flat and one is left unmoved...
