...unique position among university stage organizations, being the only college dramatic club to write, act, and produce its own plays, and the only one, with the exception of certain societies in co-educational institutions, to have women act the women roles, a policy which has brought its performances much nearer to the professional standard than is possible where men do the female parts.

Farther north and west than Windsor, the Chippewa Indians have seen their Thunder Bird, their holy and mystic eagle, in the skies, and he, too, was followed by countless sweeping hosts. And much nearer home, the Winged Victory was seen marching athwart the skies the other night, a flaming sword in her hand, and advancing in triumph from the western to the eastern horizon--betokening the overcoming of the Germans by the aid of America.
