...should be sufficient proof that beer is desired when not a drop remains at the end of the smokers. Have those who prefer beer ever objected to the serving of ginger ale or sarsaparilla? Yet there are some who detest both these drinks even as greatly as some detest beer...
Glancing back over the lights and shadows of 1914, the undergraduate may regret deeds he has done or left undone. By the calendar he has written the record of those twelve months (and it is too late to "correct proof"); but in his scholastic endeavors the undergraduate still has time to accomplish something in the college term. If the Christmas vacation passed quickly, the few weeks remaining between now and January twenty-eighth will fly. Not by trying to prolong the Yuletide festivities, but by shedding the holiday spirit for a more diligent resume of the regular schedule of studies...
...unimportant misprints are excusable in a periodical produced under the difficulties due to the distance between writer and printer. Proof-reading of English is not always as easy for foreign students in America as for most of us.

It is only to be regretted that convincing the audience is not equivalent to starting work on the building...
Though Mr. Bullard suggests it in his article, is the loss of the Freshman-Yale game a sufficient proof of the failure of the present inter-dormitory football system? I am very much inclined to doubt it. Since the loss of training in team-play is represented as the chief obstacle, Andover's record of two victories and two defeats under a somewhat similar system would seem to be quite inconclusive evidence. On the other hand, it may be said that at other schools very marked success has attended the introduction of the interdormitory plan...
