...point may be justly taken against the expenditure--the amount which goes toward organized athletics rather than the greatest physical good to the greatest number. Admitting that organized athletics are a necessity and admitting that the tendency here of recent years has not been to overdo them, but to encourage general exercise as far as possible. There is still much, especially on the tennis courts, which could be done.

The performance last night was remarkably smooth, the cast of thirty-four persons being of more than average ability. C. B. Wetherell '08 played Overdo, the pompous justice of the peace, with signal success. H. R. Shipherd '08 was successful throughout in his rendering of Waspe, the long-suffering man servant and brought down the house in the amusing stock scene by his clever acting while effecting his escape from the stocks. F. A. Wilmot...
