...past fortnight. Still on paper Harvard should have the advantage by a few points, mainly because the University team appears to be better balanced. J. B. Cummings '13, A. L. Jackson '13, and T. O. Freeman '14, the hurdlers, have been improving rapidly during the past week and now seem to have recovered from the injuries which handicapped them at the first of the season. B. M. Preble '12 has been improving in the half-mile and should be in better condition tomorrow than he was against Dartmouth...
...There seems to be wide-spread feeling about the present policy of inflicting a serious penalty for "cutting" immediately before and after a vacation. The argument advanced is that it does not seem fair to apply the same restriction equally to those men who are faithful in keeping college engagements and those who "cut" consistently as much as possible. We do not advocate for a moment the system of a definite number of "cuts" which obtains in most other colleges: first, because it encourages that childish sense of obligation to use up all the "cuts" whether they are needed...
...Greater Sunlight" conveys to me neither image nor idea nor emotion. The use of the word "lambent" should be forbidden to Monthly poets for the space of one year.

We find some pictures at "Rammy's," others at "John's," a few at the Weld boathouse, a few at the Newell, some more at the Locker Building, and others in the Gymnasium. It does not seem to us that the athletic part of the University is fairly represented in the Trophy Room, and it does not seem to us that these separate collections, however complete they may be as a whole, are effectively displayed at present. We will not, however, suggest any definite course. Undoubtedly the Athletic Association...
...deluge. The action of "Kid" passes in a subway station represented by an admirable back drop new in the club's repertoire. The lines of this human little piece are not always successful, the lingo of the streets is dragged in, but under it all the people seem to be longing with a wild, fierce longing for Hill's "Rhetoric." To act this alien picture is difficult: Miss Adams and Mr. Whittemore were notably successful, and Mr. Hodges occasionally so. Young Kramer as the newsboy spoke his lines as determinedly as though Mr. Edison had invented him. "Kid" was well...
