...cast for the Hasty Pudding annual show has been selected and the dates of performances definitely decided upon. "Barnum Was Right" is the name of the play, which was written by S. P. Sears '17 and R. E. Sherwood '18. It is in a prologue and two acts, and deals with the efforts of the Spirit of the Movies to gain recognition among the arts on Mt. Olympus. Jupiter is called upon to decide, and professing ignorance of the movies, is led to the earth by the Spirit of the Movies to see them and judge their claims...
...have naturally been dubbed pacifists. Nor does the name cause us shame. But the fact is that, as a group, we do not stand dogmatically for war or peace. What we stand for, above all, is a democratic and enlightened method of deciding whether war or peace is our duty. What we are fighting against are the Prussian methods and spirit, which do at least seem to threaten Harvard's ideals of freedom and reason.

This is not time to attempt further diplomatic sparring, when all diplomatic relations with Germany have been severed. This is no time to await the action of Uraguay or China, as this new league would have us do. As the strongest neutral nation the United States must be the champion of all neutrals, both the strong and weak...
...competitions which open tonight offer something more than the pleasure of seeing one's name on the list of CRIMSON editors. They offer a training in the writing of English which is valuable because it is practical, a sort of training that cannot be found in an academic course in composition. They offer also an introduction to journalism. Very often prospective newspaper men find it impossible to force their way into the profession because they have had no actual experience. The cruel world has no time to listen to their excuses and promises. Experience is what they demand, and experience...
