Colonel Applin saw the Regiment only when we were leaving Fresh Pond to return to Cambridge. He could see then, as I did myself, that the manual of arms was somewhat listless, that our band played, with an irregular rhythm, tunes of a rather funereal character, and that the marching lacked energy and snap. These criticisms do not surprise me at all: I expressed them many times after each exercise, and especially at the beginning of a recent lecture...
...game should be somewhat of a pitchers' battle between D. J. O'Keeffe '18 and Talcott. Of the two, O'Keeffe is undoubtedly the more effective, but has been hampered in the past by poor support. During the last two weeks, he has succeeded in developing a spit-ball which should carry him through any tight places today.

In spite of a certain overemphasis that has tended to make us regard somewhat cynically efficiency experts in general, the need for them in all matters pertaining to labor is becoming increasingly apparent. While the selling of material commodities has become organized to the highest point, the selling of labor has been done for the most part in a completely haphazard manner. Trade unions have had some effect; private and semi-public...
