...most beloved officers, the friend of children and Harvard Square merchants, was informed point-blank that he was going to be "bumped off" last night, probably in cold blood. The unfriendly import of the note precipitated a furore in Cambridge police circles, possibly second only to a Harvard student riot scare. Photographic copies of the note, the fingerprints of the child on the paper, an exhaustive investigation of police archives for possible data on "Feagan's gang", formed part of the attempt to trace the criminals to their lair. The Boston Globe gets excited and suggests a crime in front...

Care in selecting the location of the married tutors' apartments might do much to eliminate any disadvantage on that score. Peterkin believes that the unmarried men should be scattered throughout the Houses, keeping near enough to their tutees to be of educational...
...article by Mr. Pond, Chairman of the School of Landscape Architecture, on the subject of the disposition of the new housing units finds many faults with the details of the Student Council plan, as might be expected when an authority views the suggestions of laymen. The objections, however, deal with the superficial aspects of the plan, and seem to find no fault with the report's basic idea of a more or less cloistered second Yard...
