...made a choice which if we were engineers we should calculate in the foot-pounds of inertia overcome--that is, if we were competent at dealing with large figures. This poet and scholar has long had the fate to be efficient in university administration: he could make one pink card do what two blue cards had done before; he could chart the careers of professors and plot the curves of deans; he could embroider academic records in beautiful sampler designs, and prune, if need be, catalogues and committee reports into the most lovely shapes--hearts, crosses, pyramids, love-knots.

...announced last night by the H. A. A., that Sections 32 and 33 of the Stadium will be reserved this afternoon as cheering sections, and will be open only to holders of H. A. A. season tickets. These are the pink $5 booklets which can be purchased only by students. This ruling automatically excludes all women whether with escort or not, and all men who are not connected with the University.

There is no question about filling these sections, as almost all the season booklets are already reported sold. With the Harvard Band in the lower ranges...
...pleasing these feminine sycophants. The performance was lightly considered; the real work of the evening began on the waxed floor after the final curtain had rung down. The play itself was pitifully colorless: an unmitigated burlesque from its slap-stick dialogue to the heavyweight wrestler who, resplendent in pink tights and a blonde wig, tripped coyly around an umbrela, designed as a parasol, and sang about the pattering raindrops, as a member of the pony chorus. The loyal alumni were sorely tried, and equally disgusted, but the house was still packed and applauded faithfully. The War was an undisguised blessing...
