...whole situation was thoroughly set forth in a CRIMSON editorial that appeared on January 12, 1914: "Brattle Hall is both hopelessly small and hopelessly ugly. An armory would deprive the Dance of its atmosphere, would transfer it into a mere subscription party, nondescript and characterless. A Boston hotel would present unwise and perhaps disastrous extraneous temptations. We recall the class dinners of old. Finally, it is doubtful whether engaging any of these places would decrease expenses...
Brattle Hall is both hopelessly small and hopelessly ugly. An armory would deprive the Dance of its atmosphere, would transfer it into a mere subscription party, nondescript and characterless. A Boston hotel would present unwise and perhaps disastrous extraneous temptations. We recall the class dinners of old. Finally, it is doubtful whether engaging any of these places would decrease expenses. The apparent price might be lower, but the general average would be higher.

During the past four or five years, however, and especially since the organization of the Undergraduate Schools Committee, matters have been greatly improved. In addition to the systematic distribution . . . . of all the regular college publications, a new plan is now on foot for editing a handbook which will contain concise information intended primarily for the benefit of Princeton sub-freshmen...
...rather at a loss to account for the appearance in the Advocate of such a nondescript piece of writing as the lines entitled "A Vapid Vaporing." We have thought that none but articles which had some claim to literary merit were published in this paper, but here we find something that is entirely out of place. The high tone of the other articles is lowered by the presence of these verses, which, if they were in their proper place, might call for our approval. Perhaps the best thing in the present number is the stanza, "A Memory: to Nightfall...
