This year, however, the news columns of the CRIMSON have been made to sizzle betimes with stories concerning the Ku Klux Klan at Harvard and other such stuff as dreams are made on.

...Annie and Abie's Irish Rose is The Swan by Franz Molnar. So fine it is that its torch advances immediately to the van of these 50 fitful flames of drama winking at each other across the New York night.
