...perfectly obvious that something must be done if the University is to make the acquaintance or even see the glorified young militarists except during the game. In addition to the probable promenade en grande tenue and the luncheon there is a rumor that Boston hostesses and debutantes are eagerly anticipating the appearance of military full dress, resplendent with gold braid, epaulets, and decorations, in Hub salons, salles-a-manger, and ball-rooms. In view of this situation, gratifying as the Boston hospitality promises to be, the University will undoubtedly view with alarm the usurpation of its prerogatives as a host...

...industries have found out through costly processes of trial and error that human efficiency is greatly affected by external conditions such as temperature, ventilation, and hours of labor. There is also a limit to the adaptability of the body, and the determination of its most productive field is of obvious value.

Apparently the type of practical jokers represented by those who cut down the Lampoon tree is at large again. This sort of thing is a little too obvious for even the more violent or sportive Klansmen to undertake. The joy of mystifying others is a great incentive to such blood-and-thunder tricks. The pleasure of seeing one's deeds acknowledged, even anonymously, and of causing annoyance and perhaps anxiety appeals to some. All in all, it is illogical to expect any bombs or poisoned daggers; in spite of which, the Liberal Club is enabled to uphold its reputation...
