...described to us. The whole thing seems too tame, too common-place for words. The frantic mobs in the streets of Moscow cannot compare to the lunch hour at Jimmie's. The pools of blood in the public squares at Patrograd are nothing to one familiar with Harvard Square slush. Even the wildest extremes of Bolshevik art fail to stir those of us who have gazed upon Memorial Hall. On the whole, the case for Bolshevism has thus far been presented in an unfavorable light. Now, however, the Hasty Pudding seeks to portray for us the glamor and charm...
...Much "slush" has recently appeared in the American press about the wonderful work that Americans are doing in ambulance work on the French front. It is true that some men have been wounded in the performance of their duty, but all told what does America's part in this amount to? Out of a hundred million people only two or three hundred are working at the front, or near the front, in ambulance work. The term of the engagement is only six months and very few stay on after the period has elapsed. As one who has been at this...
Spring is here in all its glory of snow storms and slush. The strains of a handorgan rushing the season rekindles that unsettled feeling, attributed to spring in March, fall in October, winter in January.

...retains a conviction that to be a Boy Scout Leader or the Coach of an Uplift Nine is after all the noblest ambition of Young American Manhood. Mr. Murdock's story is shorter, and laid right here in Cambridge--Memorial clock strikes nine, and the streets are covered with slush, and all that sort of thing--but it is still further away from life as most of us know it. There is a touch of the melodramatic in its treatment of Harvard existence which discourages those of us who have been brought up in the tradition that college men should...
...students of Harvard University. The recent bad weather has brought to my attention a condition that should be speedily remedied. Anyone who finds it necessary to use the walks about the College now realizes their fearful condition. It seems that someone has neglected his duty. Why is not the slush cleaned off so that pedestrians can go about with dry feet? Cambridge certainly has a law which requires property owners to keep the sidewalks cleared of snow and slush. Harvard has been extremely lax in complying with that ordinance. At present no one can get to classes or anywhere with...
