Most apparent is the failure to indicate the part played by Professor Coolidge in his effort to develop the Lowell House "corporate personality." That effort is everywhere patent; there is the High Table and the sedulous recognition by note of scholastic success or failure; there are the visits to sick Housemembers at Stillman and the erratic little speeches about Lowell Traditions. The Master's paternalism has evoked much criticism from cynical outsiders and startled, new-fledged Sophomores. But older Housemembers have discovered that House Spirit remains nonetheless comfortably distant, have looked more closely to the source of the attentions...
...into a last minute scramble for funds among the wealthy members of the class. Prominent in the Harvard Fund's annual approach to every alumnus and in the voluntary nature of the gifts is the purpose, of course, to correct the disproportion under both of the older systems. The success which has attended the Harvard Fund's efforts merits wholehearted support from this year's graduating class...
...public opinion is too strong. That opinion will no longer tolerate such things as the failure of 5000 banks, and then an eight month's debate on the Glass Banking Bill.

But may it not be that the rising wave of popularity evidenced last spring was but the upswing of a cyclical movement which will sooner or later come to an end? And unless there...
...that will definitely determine the caliber of the Crimson racquet-men. Last week a few of the squad got together an informal team, drove down to Princeton, and were defeated 4 to 1. Yale has previously downed the Tiger aggregation, and now the question is, can they repeat their success in Cambridge. It is not an easy question to answer, but I feel that Cowles' outfit will come out on top. The loss to Princeton does not prove a great deal, and the team, in its regular line-up, will have several advantages over the sons of Eli. They will...
