...bogeymen with which the Soviet press scares Russians was added, last week,* a potent U. S. citizen 89 years of age, gaunt, and frail with parchment skin and eyes that seem always sunken behind dark-lensed spectacles. A searing editorial in Besbozhnik (The Godless), famed anti-religious organ of the Soviet State, revealed, as horrid fact, that 65.000 "Baptist Bibles" have recently been printed in Russia. Since someone must have paid for them, and since John Davison Rockefeller Sr. is rich, philanthropic and Baptist, Editor Shpitzberg of Besbozhnik pointed accusingly across the Atlantic at Rockefeller Sr., while indicating John Davison...
Comparative records, in so far as they are applicable, seem to maintain an even balance of power between the Crimson and Green teams. Early in the season HARVARD DARTMOUTH Tudor, l.w. r.w., Rogers Putnam, c. c., Jeremiah Giddens, r.w. l.w., Heath H. Bigelow, l.d. r.d., Booma A. Bigelow, r.d. l.d., Shea Jackson, g. g., Bott...
...Jesuit historian has recently called the early history of Harvard "one of the brilliant pageants of American history," a pageant of which the "real theme is courage and devotion; courage under conditions which would seem to stifle all human effort save an avid grubbing for food and housing, devotion to the fine ideal of disciplining the human intellect and human will."

Now the requirements for a good dance are a good hall and a good orchestra. Memorial Hall would dampen anyone's enthusiasm. Why not have the Prom at some attractive ballroom? If the Gaydon Club can afford it, certainly the much larger Junior Class can afford it. It seems to me that an announcement by the 1930 Prom Committee of a good orchestra in a good ballroom would do much to revive...
...college of the size and nature of Harvard can give no single man, much less Mr. Seldes, a complete view of its nature. There seem to be so many characteristics of Harvard that no individual can see them all from his limited position. For example, one may attempt to classify the student body. He will find, among others, six groups--those dominated by a social complex, those with an intellectual complex, a pecuniary complex, an athletic complex, or a combination of these complexes, and finally, those with no complexes at all. Which is predominant is a matter open to question...
