...would be discreditable to the University if the spirit of the recent Lampoon picture were allowed to pass without emphatic condemnation as the one which prevails among Harvard men. Harvard does not yet recognize the necessity of defeat, nor need she. Her crew has been handicapped throughout the season, but victory is not yet beyond its reach.

"Oh, sir," replied the actor, "whether I am well or ill, in high spirits or low, I am always equal to tragedy, but comedy is a serious business." He meant that comedy requires an amount of earnestness and depth that is not usually given to it. An actor, while thoroughly appreciating it must always take a joke seriously, otherwise the humor is lost. Dogberry, for example, when...
