...motor industry, generally speaking, is in the position of a squirrel in a cage. So far as profits go?it is very active but dubiously profitable. Production of cars proceeds at a good rate, but competition has so reduced retail prices that there is little satisfaction...
...Goodie", seeing a mouse in a dormitory fireplace, should climb upon a cane-seated chair, with a resulting sudden descent and sprained ankle, would the University be liable for damages? If a Yard man-with-a-hoe should fall while pursuing a Yard squirrel, would the University be obliged to pay his doctor's-bills?

Of the humorous drawings, the "Freshman impressing his family with his college experiences," is an excellent bit of characterization accomplished with few strokes; while the Hi. mister! scramble a nut," gives us something really new and refreshing on the squirrel question. A page drawing by Breck '07, is without character, and forms an excellent illustration for the accompanying "joke." The idea expressed in the centre page is of well tried excellence, but careless drawing makes it less effective than usual. Doubtless the picture of the Radcliffe basketball team is much exaggerated...
