...attempt of an unknown Boston Bolshevik with Black Handish leanings to put a stop to the Hasty Pudding Club's preparations for "Crowns and Clowns" is but another instance of the almost unbelievable lack of ordinary foresight for which Soviet supporters are traditionally famous. Frankly, we have been perhaps somewhat diffident when the delights of Bolshevism have been 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...
...course largely technical or agricultural will find some technical or agricultural institution ready to accept his preparation. But the great body of general colleges cannot surrender their standards. They can find better ways of measuring compliance with them, and can apply them in a range of subjects somewhat widened, but their watchword should be conservatism. NEW YORK...

It gives very good proof that the unintentional humor is the best...

The Freshman team is well balanced, but somewhat stronger on the track than in the field events.

Dexter is expected to do well in the mile...
...psychology of the authors of the red parody is somewhat unusual. Its brilliant color made it sell like wild fire; red magazines were sticking out of everybody's pockets on Wednesday afternoon. But the attempted blow proved a boomerang. For every copy of the parody sold,--the figure is said to approach 1,500,--a copy of the real magazine was also sold. The satirists gave the true paper the best possible free advertising and undoubtedly doubled if not trebled the circulation of the first number...
