...last meeting in the bomb-proof cellar of the Lampoon's feudal castle the Interpaper Pastimes Association approved Friday, June 3, as a beautiful day for the annual base-running best of the Arterial Blooders with the bowlegged Barons of Bow Street Bend. The Arterial Artists are expected to drive the Lords of Mirth from the lists, and heralds will bawl the decisions of the judges to the fractious faus roaring around the flowing flagons of fragrant nut-brown...
...prize for a dramatic production offered to Harvard students by Mr. John Craig is a significant recognition of the work which has been done of late by Harvard dramatists. It is, furthermore, a gratifying evidence of the interest of professionals in our work, and a proof that they believe that the art of play-writing can be taught.

Just what he says about, I cannot tell, since my proof stops short in the middle of a word, and the time vouchsafed by the Magazine to a reviewer precludes my getting the rest. Among the editorial articles not thus cut off, the most important urges the appointment of a committee to prevent congestion of evening lectures, concerts, readings, and plays...
...collection of Freshmen for either of these purposes should bear the reputation, whether deserved or not, that the Polo Club now has. The life of that organization can be terminated easily and quietly by its past members; and if they do not meet the facts, either by public proof that the Polo Club's reputation is undeserved, or by doing away with the grounds for complaint, they are responsible for a great injury to the younger members of the club and to the University as a whole...
