...Ficke's "The Earth Lassion," and an editorial on "The Professor and the Undergraduate." Perhaps the presence of so much solemn verse has put the editor in a pessimistic mood for he bewails the ignorance and stupidity which estrauges student and professor from helpful human relations. I have personally seen so little of this estrangement that I cannot write on it intelligently, if it does exist. One of the best things I have gained from my teaching has been the friendship of students; one living among eternal youth--for undergraduates represent eternal youth--must necessarily himself stay young. There...
...lose a man from the crew through illness in the last period of training is one thing; to lose him through suspension by the Administrative Board of the University is another. The Board has seen fit to punish two members of the University squad for an infraction of the rules of the College. The case against them was perfectly clear and there was no alternative but punishment. We may be full of sympathy for the offenders, and perhaps for ourselves, but what matters it--the law must be upheld in every well regulated community and it has been...
...less said about the game the better. There was more stupid ball playing on the part of the Harvard team in the four innings than has been seen this years on Soldiers Field in a whole afternoon.

...practice was probably the most spirited that has been seen this year. Practice began fairly early, and nearly two hours were devoted to batting, first against the machine and the Freshman pitchers, Minot and McKay, and then against Coach Castle and Slater. The batting was excellent, and many good drives were made off Castle and Slater. Aronson secured three good hits, one a long three-bagger to left. Two full teams were formed, one from the regulars and the other from the substitutes. The regulars batted around several times and also ran bases, while the substitutes remained in the field...
...would be a bold man who would prophesy the fortunes of Mr. MacKaye's new play on the stage. It is so unlike anything that has been seen in the theatre these many years that parallels of any kind are hard to draw; and yet it has so much that is striking, even startling, in it that a theatrical sensation is by no means out of the question. "The Scarecrow" is a prose "tragedy of the indicrous," based upon a suggestion derived from Hawthorne's "Feathertop"; but the purely satirical purpose of the original story is replaced by an ethical...
