...days ago I saw in the paper a letter from a graduate suggesting a bronze tablet in Soldiers Field in memory of Norman Prince '08. It occurred to me that the fact might not be generally known that the oak panels in the wainscoating of the Hall of the Union were intended for just such a purpose. I happened to be present when the architect, Mr. C. F. McKim, was discussing his plans for the Union with Mr. Higginson and others, and he said then that he hoped that the plain panels would genually be replaced by carved once inscribed...
That the Tufts football team out-played the University team in every department of the game is the opinion of C. E. Brickley '15, captain of the 1914 eleven. "It was the first time I ever saw a Harvard team forced to forward passing in its own territory in desperate attempts to advance the ball.

As for German prisoners I saw about 50 or 75 in all. It was great sport to see the French soldiers surrounding a German prisoner or two, drawing their knives and slashing off buttons, shoulder straps, insignia--anything for a souvenir.
