...refreshing though that the dogma of Yale infallibility had had a hard blow the further reflection that both colleges may mutually profit by the "exhilarating (not exhilirating) novelty" of Harvard's winning three great events. In Mr. Edgell's story "Two Operas" I find a pleasing old fashioned note--a story straightforwardly told and getting somewhere without baffling allusiveness or the world-worn ennui of two decades of life on this planet.

...Francis W. Hirst, editor of "The Economist," London, one of the foremost economic journals of the world, will deliver a lecture on "The London Money Market," in University 23, this afternoon at 4.30 o'clock.

The programs, designed to appeal to the average undergraduate, are not beyond his comprehension, and the instructive value of the course is greatly enhanced by Mr. Whiting's untechnical...
...Arts the embodiment of man's deepest and most durable ideals; and with almost a religious fervor he brought these to bear on every aspect of the petty and careless life around him. He has been a preacher of reverence to a headlong age. And if sometimes a despairing note has been heard in his voice, it has been perhaps a necessary corrective of overconfident America...
