...same direction at the University of Minnesota and other institutions. I have been greatly interested in these attempts to encourage intelligent consideration of playwriting among students. Harvard seems to have been most successful, turning out such men as Edward Sheldon, Fred Ballard, and Cleves Kinkead.

It seemed impossible that such an apparently useless pest should be continuously perpetrated unless there were some good reason; and hence the CRIMSON long resisted the insistent request of many men to voice their execration of the nuisance. But inquiry seems to show that it rests upon a tradition, which has persisted after its use has long vanished...
