...going now, do you? Sit down awhile. Don't often seen anyone around here now except to take exams. It's not like the old days--nothing is for that matter. Say, I remember when the boys used to go over to Brighton to fight the town pool-hall gang. It wasn't all beer they had inside 'em then either! Then there were real riots--gness we won't see many more of those. Well, we'll have beer again soon. But take it from me, beer never has drowned a Harvard thirst...
Harvard's annual course for senior life savers in the University who wish to pass their examinations to become qualified examiners gets under way Monday afternoon in the swimming pool of the Indoor Athletic Building, and will continue for about six weeks.

Relying on the good will of the Pt Eta Club and the not too low rentals of Brattle Hall, it has been moving from one stage to another. Funds...
...Dramatic club would not be the only organization benefited by the conversion of the Big Tree pool. Such a theatre as might be erected there might also serve for the Cercle Francais, the Classical Club, the Debating Council, and smaller gatherings to hear eminent lecturers. Rather than let the Big Tree pool sit idle and the Dramatic club and her sister institutions go begging, the University should make some arrangement whereby the Holyoke street structure could be used by the Dramatic club for a period at least long enough to warrant remodeling...
