Although more than a week has elapsed since another Reading Period came to a close, the examinations which in the final analysis are accepted as the most adequate proof of its success are still looming ominously ahead of weary undergraduates. Even if official reports again magnify the advantages of the Reading Period, as the CRIMSON has predicted, to those students who have found it imperative to spend long hours of each day in order to accomplish the prescribed work, mid-years present a more dangerous outlook...
Competition in such a field as advertising obviously has its own reward in the financial results it obtains for the product advertised. No matter how carefully it conforms to ethical and artistic standards a campaign's success cannot be claimed until the sales records are used as proof. The correspondence of this measure of success with that of the Bok standards is apparent to anyone who examines the list of previous winners. Business is not in the habit of seeking more advanced standards without some practical motive, and it is a tribute to the judgement of Mr. Bok that...

That it is sensationalism seems to anyone at all familiar with the facts too obvious to need proof. The picture Mr. Pringle draws of the Yale man is only slightly less amusing to a Harvard undergraduate than the similar caricatures of himself that he may have been surprised to find are taken seriously by people who ought to know better. And yet it is a strange fact that while no one would believe such tales about clerks or office boys, for the collegian there are scarcely any bounds of credibility...
