There are many and vital movements which the undergraduate should either take part in or take pot shots at. The Student Federation to some is important, to others as worthwhile as, a motorman on a dinosaur. The Debating Union could well indulge in debate on the Federation's merits.

He brought together 500 school principals and invited citizens to be audience...
...valedictory leader, the outgoing President of the Lampoon makes his successor beir to an "empty paste pot and a pair of shears," obviously the worn instrumeats with which a large proportion of the wit and humor of the present number was acquired, for, with the possible exception of the story which begins with the two newlyweds in a Pullamn and later contains references to oranges, there is hardly an antique and hoary wheeze which does not stage a comeback somewhere between the "Prologue" and the Tiffany (Exacting Standards) advertisement on the final page.
