...University hockey squad held a short practice yesterday afternoon on Hammond's Pond, Chestnut Hill. On account of the poor condition of the ice the work of the forwards was very erratic, but served to try out various defensive combinations. The first part of the practice consisted in individual work by the forwards in carrying the puck against several combinations of defensive candidates...
Every one of the nominees has had a more or less prominent part in the activities of the College. They have done their tasks partly, in some cases wholly, for the honor of Harvard without thought of personal glory. Men take up the extra-curriculum work for their interest in it, but to do it well requires unselfish devotion and often means the sacrifice of other more pleasant things.

Another serious article, by W. Lippmann, pleads for more robustness of interest, on the part of students, in American politics. By all means,--and in other matters too. "The Chinese Classics and Modern Research," by A. D. Sheffield, is closely reasoned, as it goes, but fails to make Chinese literature itself seem vital...
