...please so fastidious a taste as he secretly prides himself on. Boston, as the nearest, the most obvious, territory for the despairing epicure, is the usual scene of these veiled expeditions. Last night the Vagabond set out in search of those delicacies indigenous to the joy, the lightness of spring. Weeks of rain and lowering skies had awakened in him thoughts of spring as it should be, thoughts which for once had other than an intellectual goal. Strawberry shortcake and--well, lots of other things, but mostly strawberry shortcake filled his mind. He had tasted what is commonly placed...
...invading nine has played erratically this spring and it is difficult to forecast just how much opposition they will offer the Crimson players today.

Perhaps it is the American mania for statistics, or the general vernal disintegration of mental faculties which produce these announcements that bring such joy to the hearts of collar manufacturers and movie stars. At any rate they are the vogue in many places, including, Princeton. And although Harvard possesses no superlatives of its own it has managed this year to receive mention in the array of immortals; for is it not ranked by the discerning Princeton...
