...defense. Secondly, the big football games, with their publicity, the enthusiasm they arouse, and the universal interest in them, are the greatest unifying influence in the University. Harvard, more than any other college, is known for the individualism of its members. This lack of uniformity we need not regret, as long as there is one strong tie to bind us together; but if the major teams and all that they imply did not exist individualism would be almost entirely unrestricted; the small group would be the order of the day and the term "Harvard" as applied to its members would...

In fact, it became necessary this year to cut nearly all of the Sophomore and Freshman applications to one seat and this one seat was on top of the Stadium.

The position which the college authorities and the majority of the students have taken in this matter is both wise and advanced. Stupid uniformity is the curse of most societies...
...restraint. Mary Courtney (Marion Barney) played with conspicuous naturalness, while Harry Barfoot as "Papa Bonelli" gave some excellen character touches. All that can be done to "put the play across" the company does, and we can only place ourselves with the host of Miss Anglin's friends who regret that she should be wasting her splendid powers and company on this particular speciment of the conventional French melodrama...
