...ourselves that way, and until we develop our own movement to break the bonds of such a role, student freedom at Harvard will remain subject to the kind of arbitrary attack that is now occurring throughout the University. For now, any pre-freshmen looking forward to a sojourn in "the continuing body of reason itself," should forget...
Despite Yale's varsity victory Harvard did manage to corral the Rowe cup for the sixth time in seven years. The Crimson second varsity played a major role in bringing the Rowe home to Cambridge after a year-long sojourn to Penn by reversing the order of the varsity heavyweight race and beating Yale. Starting at a cadence of 42, the Crimson J.V.s dropped behind Penn by half a length before driving past the Quakers at 500. In a tremendous display of power at 1000 Harvard stretched a half-boat lead into one-and-a-quarter lengths. Cruising in from...
Across the ocean, Chateaubriand was less successful. Few Americans had heard of him in his own century; today the English-speaking world tends to associate the name with an expensive steak dish (created by a chef during Chateaubriand's brief sojourn as ambassador to England).

It seems that Florence arrived in Wellesley, Mass. for a summer sojourn at the home of Arthur Hunnewell with her golf clubs in tow, having brought them over from Pau, France, where she had been wintering. She was soon informed to her great chagrin that the game of golf had never been played in New England before, much less even heard...
