...announcement of a memorial service in the Appleton Chapel on Tuesday January 28th as a mark of respect to the late King George, should be of interest to both members of the University and residents of Cambridge. In this way does Harvard join the great movement throughout the country which has insisted, during the past week, on showing its admiration and affection for George V. It is significant to note that on the day of the King's death, flags were lowered to half-mast along the main thoroughfares of most of the great cities of the United States...
Less easily did they get off at the hands of Pundit David Lawrence, who attacked the contention that "political facts" are all right, but "political skits" improper.

...better fitted to teach it than a book. When men who write poetry, prose, the short-story or any other form of literature are called upon to teach it, then and not till then, will education assume its true function and meaning. Harvard has led the way in this respect by installing in its faculty men who are doing this sort of work. The appointment of Mr. Frost follows out this theory and the Corporation should be highly praised for calling to this valuable position so distinguished a figure in the world of modern verse...
