...Paris where he will submit the report of the commission and then leave for America. Professor Coolidge was selected, together with Dean C. H. Haskins, Professor R. F. Dixon '97 and Assistant Professor Loren '06 to furnish the American delegation a the Peach Conference with expert information in regard to conditions in the several countries. Before becoming a instructor in the University he was secretary to the American Legation a Vienna, and also to the legation a Petrograd...
...surprisingly short space of time. Although semi-permanent in character, this equipment is amazingly complete. Barring the 60,000 text-books and 40,000 books which comprise the Library, nothing has been sent from this side of the water.

He might come out of the debating trials a sadder but wiser man. We make no promises...
...extravagance of an epoch of change. But the Lampoon has gone further and has ventured to lay hands upon the essential foundations of the social order. It is difficult to see how Boston can retain its position as the modern Athens if youths of such tender age are to regard the most characteristic institution of Boston culture as food for mirth. A Senate investigation into Harvard teaching is of vital importance unless the basis of modern Boston is to pass away unnoticed...
