...learning. Jeremiah Smith '56 contributes an article on his class-mate Major Herrod, and Professor Wendell a sympathetic notice on E. M. Wheelwright. The editor conclusively proves that distinction and longevity are reserved for Phi Beta Kappa men, and the Man Behind The Graduate's Window makes a witty plea that the College muckraker should understand before he fires...
...quotation marks. It has two articles which especially show that the editors are wide-awake. One is an allegory on Harvard College by Benjamin Franklin, which is as far from flattering as it is near the truth as to the conditions of our own day. The other is a plea for the study of Spanish in the United States by Professor Altamira of Oviedo, concise and to the point...

Greene '11, of Baltimore, Md., for an essay entitled "New Wine and Old Bottles," and C. Warren '89, of Boston, who wrote on "A Plea for Personality in Professors." No first prize was awarded in the undergraduate competition since the judges considered no essay to be of sufficient merit. A second prize of $50 was given to C. H. Weston '14, of Merion Station, Pa., for an essay on "The Problem of Democracy at Harvard." The undergraduate...
