...strongholds of amateurism among the large universities, it must vindicate the stand it has taken. Like the virgin at Winter Carnival, Harvard must prove that one can be virtuous and get away with it. The atmosphere is right for success. Since his arrival last fall Coach Harlow has inspired respect and confidence. The student body has refused to see in a series of defeats any permanent omen.

...again!) without a chaperone only if there are two or more ladies present." This not only answers the old riddle, "When is a lady not a lady?" (Answer: "When she's a chaperone"), but flings a challenging glove into the ladies' very teeth, Females have never treated with much respect man-made rules intended to control their activities. Mark our words, until this restriction is removed, there'll be breaking and entering on the part of single, defiant misses, till the students scream for help.
