...subject will never be given full justice until the inequality of our present Sunday laws has been reformed wherever inequality exists. As matters stand now, all those who can naturally afford to secure recreation on Sundays by motor trips, at country clubs and on private grounds are easily able to do so, but the less favored half of the community, including small boys, are held as offenders against the law if they play baseball even out of church hours. It is not a question of legalizing professional baseball on Sunday, but of giving all the people an equal chance...
There has dwelt in our midst a body of men of whom we all are proud. For four months we have listened to the bugle calls in sombre Holyoke and seen two hundred men stand eternally at attention in front of Widener. We have cheerfully journeyed to Boston to the sound of their "taps" and gone to bed as "reveille" was blown. As we left Cambridge for vacations we saw these cadets trudge by and as we came back they were still trudging. They seemed automatons endlessly marching from class to drill and back again; and, watching them we have...
Undeniably gross faults stand out. One witty undergraduate gave proof of that fact when he declared that under no conditions would he let his studies interfere with his college education.

When theatregoers heard that Donald Brian had left his former co-partners, Julia Sanderson and Joseph Cawthorne, there was general dissatisfaction. It was felt that "united we stand, divided we fall" would be quite applicable to this move.

It is true that Mr. Brian has been surrounded with a cast of mediocrity, which might excuse leniency in judgment. He dances as well...
...mind. Witness the recent action of North Dakota and Baltimore in removing the study of German from their school curricula. These same people may now look askance at the list of new courses to be offered by the University this next half-year. As against two French courses stand seven new German subjects. Oh treason of the blood! And so the great New England seat of learning is after all willing to disseminate enemy propaganda under the guise of education. No; the fact is that Harvard is not yet infected with a blind patriotism which sweeps all before it, whether...
