...welcomed into the University last night by the thousand students who packed the Living Room of the Union. The promotion of any addition to our already wide field of extra-curriculum activities requires both perseverance and a careful sizing up of opportunities. And to have done this in so popular a way as to attract more spectators, than have witnessed any other intercollegiate contest proves both the ability of the managers and the existence of a good opening for this new sport...
...reputation. The 1916 offering, moreover, shows still further improvement. Professor Baker's courses on the drama are sure to attract many persons who are familiar with his leadership in that field.

It has been suggested that they be moved to 7.45 in the morning; and it is likely...
...graduates alone who complain of the inadequacy of Commencement Day accommodations. The Seniors, for whom the day crowns four years of work, are, if anything, the greatest sufferers. It is high time something was done to make this important and impressive occasion popular with all Harvard people, as it was in an earlier day. The suggestion has been made that a large tent be erected in the quadrangle between Pierce and Langdell.
