...relatives. Let me caution you, however, not to mention my name, for I have never been in any of them, and the mere fact that I am your cousin might injure your prospects for life. Beware of men who shine at the Freshman punch and theatre party - they may seem to lead, but are in reality only guide-posts to cul-de-sacs. The quiet, well-dressed men, who are among the first to join the Athletic Association, are sure to be desirable acquaintances. Be sure, too, to know the captains of your nine and crew, and that so intimately...

Now we are perfectly willing to furnish occupation for these gentlemen, but we would like them to understand one thing which at present does not seem to be comprehended by them, - that is, that the Crimson board is not responsible for the sentiments expressed in the correspondence column.

But regarding the tendency towards co-education, which the writer traces from allowing women to go to the evening readings, and permitting them...
...short, the representation will follow the antique tradition where possible; but it is not intended, in any case, to strain a point and run the risk of being ridiculous. Thus, there will be no attempt to make the theatre seem open to the sky, and no masks will be worn. It is well established that the object of the mask was to make the features of the actors seem distinct to those who sat in the furthest part of the immense theatres, and also to help the adjustment of the mouth-piece, which was necessary to give sufficient distinctness...
