...Island, but there was some difficulty in getting a location and the War Department was therefore forced to change its plans. The camp now decided on will be situated on the reservation of the Edgewood Arsenal, the permanent post and proving grounds of the Chemical Warfare Department. A large portion of the territory is taken up by the chemical plants, railroads, and pipe lines, but there is an area set aside for R. O. T. C. Artillery and infantry units, National Guard troops and R. O. T. C. instructors...
...Hasty Pudding, it is true, have small stages of their own, but the Dramatic Club and the "47" Workshop lack theatres of any description. The Dramatic Club has carpenter shop quarters on the top floor of Sever: "47" has similar accommodations in a portion of Massachusetts Hall, where the company must rehearse, and make and store sets for the plays.

Production is seasonal and therefore irregular; government figures show that for thirty years the miners have averaged, only 215 day of work per year. This condition, bad for both parties, would be betted if greater foresight...
...annoyances of studying in the Library is the constant buzz of conversation going on all over the hall. Part of this is entirely needless and part, at present, is unavoidable. A considerable portion of the patrons of Widener are day students who have no other place to get together except the Union,--and the Union, however democratic and universal, has dues. Also it is somewhat out of the way as a place to drop in between classes. Accordingly, the only common place of meeting left is Widener...
