Tradition has neither stabilized nor sanctified the present three annual affairs, one of which is fast developing into an incubus. The spirit which fills the gymnasiums of state universities with a sympathetic mass of jazz-appreciators and inspires the grand march with the prom chairman and the lucky girl at its head in a confetti setting is not transferrable to Memorial Hall. The happy solution of the problem would be for the blaise Juniors to pass over their dance to the social Sophomores who might profit by early experience or carry on the Jubilee tradition throughout their college career...
...execution of the House Plan cannot make Harvard over; the CRIMSON does not believe that its proponents think that it can, or consider it desirable. The true university spirit of communism for the individual rather than for a series of cohesive entities is an obstacle to the success of any effort to organize Harvard College along group lines, however tenuous...
There is, besides, in the antithesis of this last, an attitude to be warded off: the snide spirit of a small part of Eastern students meets and provokes an intense feeling of dislike for them among the rest of the world.

The detachment of speculation, the intensity of personal pride, the uneasiness of nervous sensibility, the urgency of ambition, the opulence of superb taste-these qualities, blending, twisting, flashing together, gave to his secret spirit the subtle and glittering superficies of a serpent. . . . The music sounds, and the great snake rises, and spreads its hood, and leans and hearkens, swaying in ecstasy; and even so the Lord Chancellor, in the midst of some great sentence, some high intellectual confection, seems to hold his breath in a rich beatitude, fascinated...
