This theme of the reformed criminal being confronted by his past when he has set his hand to good works is as old as Jean Valjean and as young as Jimmy Valentine. In each case it has been as genuine as the character about whom it revolved, and no more so. Unfortunately, Phil Durgan in "We The People" is not sufficiently tangible as a character to let us judge of this. In action he is at best merely a hero, and in the cross-examination of the third act, a hero somewhat at a loss for smart things...
Know all men by these presents, that the Class of 1914, including Rinehart, will hold its first Senior smoker in the Union at nine of the clock this evening. The hour has been set so that every member of the class can be on hand, at least for a little while.

Hale '15 has assisted in the designing and painting of the set. "Home Sweet Home," a serious play of tenement life was written by Miss Violet Robinson, recently of Radcliffe. Professor Richard T. Holbrook has revised his translation of the old French farce "Pierre Patelin" specially for this performance. The chief purpose of the "Workshop" is to fit original productions for public performance...
...substitutes yesterday. Apparently the attempt to make him into a quarterback has been given up. Bradlee, however useful a man he may be for the substitutes, was one of the few quarterback hopes; Logan and Freedley both are reliable and steady, but neither measures up to the brilliant standard set by the other three backs...
