Because of the freshness of the season, a slight dearth of material, and the absence of Captain E. T. Gerry '31, Coach Sharp picked W. F. Luton '32 to play No. 1, N. W. Kimball '32 at No. 2, and H. I. Nicholas Jr. '31 as back, although the game was scheduled for the Harvard seconds...
...careful effort that has been made to minimize the shock of installing the House Plan, by avoiding too close an imitation of the Oxford-Cambridge system, has received several reverses in the proposed administration at Lowell House. The differences between it and its brother House are slight, yet they offer a certain basis for the contention that the new Harvard will be over-Anglicized; and they are definitely of a sort to restrain the development of the close relationship of student and tutor that is part of the House Plan.

...obscurely associated with motherhood generally forbids its eating. U. S.

...former is the logical-method of reaching every voter; but it has opposed to it the extra time required, a slight additional expense, and the important matter of intelligent voting, which is doubtless aided by the presence of candidates photographs at a more accessible place than in the Red Books in the rooms of 600 Seniors. In any case, this method deserves trial, though it is probably too late for the present committee to employ...
