Fortunately, neither of the plays presented this season went bad for lack of acting ability. Ted Allegretti, John Lemmon, and others of the Harvard Dramatic Club have shown themselves capable of handling anything within the realm of reasonable histrionies. Mendy Weisgal, Marie Heath, and the company of the Veterans Theater Workshop displayed unusual talent in keeping a shoddy vehicle moving. Clearly, the faults that resulted in snarling press notices and red-scrawled ledgers lay in the choosing and not the acting of the productions...

Then they daubed Yale blue on a bronze tiger in Palmer Square, painted up a Princeton dormitory and clock, burned a "Y" into the Nassau Tavern lawn, and chopped down the Palmer Stadium goal posts.

With the incorporation of the School into the newly-formed Faculty of Arts and Sciences in 1890 under President Eliot, the last real distinction between the two degrees died and the present anomaly was born. Science began to take its place in the realm of knowledge, President Lowell bestowed B. S.'s on English concentrators and A.B.'s on physicists, and the late Dean Briggs aphorized on the B.S. that it showed "not a knowledge of science, but an ignorance of Latin...
