...need to fear that the Class of 1924 will ignore the path of its predecessors into the Yard. The difficulty will be, more likely, what it was last year: the problem of crowding all applicants into the five buildings set aside for Seniors. It is late now to suggest that one or both of the remaining Yard dormitories should have been included in this year's Senior allotment. But if enough members of 1924 apply, there is no reason why they should not overflow until they fill either Matthews, or Weld, or both. The latest Yard tradition will...

All that is needed now is that someone suggest a "utopian" university which all might copy; or that, as in the University of Bologna in the Middle Ages...
...promote other sports of the great and open West. Having taught New Yorkers how to throw more than one kind of bull, he intends to demonstrate to them the other pastimes that have made the West what it is. A genial Kansan hearing of this, sent in to suggest a good old-fashioned tar and feathering. This, though admittedly excellent fun, was vetoed as being unsportsmanlike. Then a harvesting bee was proposed, but when Tex found out that harvesters were immense machines, he decided that the scheme was impracticable and would have no human interest nor leave any space...
