...bill opens with Mr. Abbott's "The Head of the Family," a drab little tragedy of life in a New England farm kitchen. The piece will recall to many certain of the Irish plays. It has a heart-breaking climax, admirably staged, but the action has not made it seem inevitable. No doubt this impression is strengthened by the acting, here the least successful of any of the evening. The characters speak words that attest to their horror, but their aspect conveys no sense of feeling whatever. Mr. Lyding was in manner and appearance admirable as the father...
...outfield material contains two members of last year's team, Babson and Wigglesworth, who would seem practically sure of their places on the University team. For the remaining field there are a number of candidates: Belton of last year's squad. Conant, F. H. Clark, Haas, and Reynolds if he is not moved up to the infield...

We have, as he says, the Taft Club and the La Follette Club, but neither organization takes the trouble to discuss in open debate with the other the merits of its particular candidate; much less to meet the members of the Democratic Clubs or the Socialist Club. In the light of such conditions...
...Lowell explain the ins and outs of the recently adopted "elective-group" system should command the attention of every member of the Freshman class at 5.30 o'clock this afternoon. Even to upperclassmen familiar with the old scheme of electives, the rules now in force for 1914 and 1915 seem complicated to a degree. To Freshmen, and especially to that always large number of the class completely at sea as to the nature of their life work, this exposition of the requirements should prove of unique value. Although members of the Faculty are fully competent to advise later in individual...
