...been "written up", "analyzed" and "doped" from every conceivable angle daily by special correspondents. "Crimson Splashes" or "Blue Ripples" jotted down in the newspapers, have given us to understand that "the boys are on edge; little things irritate them, but everybody understands that they are merely in the pink of condition" and so on for half a column. "Inside" articles have shown conclusively that the "psychological factor" is fighting for the University, or that Yale's new-born spirit and dash are unconquerable. But when all the special articles are waded through, only one fact stands out; that each...
...eagle-eyed bargaining for packing cases in unguessed-at basements, at least three "important" notices as day in the CRIMSON, five letters in every other mail--three of which are acceptances and two regrets to the 110 invitations sent out three weeks ago; acceptances mean tickets, but which tickets? pink, blue, red, white, striped, expensive, less so, or rain checks?

Exhort the track team and the crew and all the rest of our paid athletes (cf. "The Pink", of the paper for people who think) to earn their pin-money; advocate the presentation of Macbeth, with the goodies to participate as witches; deplore the lack of interest in the museums, and the great interest in Turkish Baths--but here is the climax upon which it is wise...
...this time safe for entrance. I went in, and when my eyes had become accustomed, to the darkness, they were met with an astonishing sight. Standing in the centre of the spacious rockchamber were five motionless figures, hooded and masked, and shrouded from head to foot in startling pink garments. (Pink was the color of purity among the ancient Incas, doubtless because it is the color most rarely found in nature.) Kneeling at the feet of each of these standing figures, but clad in less distinctive garments, were other figures, in the act of kissing the bare feet of their...
