...equal to the longer prose pieces, especially "Lampy's Little Lampoonlets." Mr. Dooley, on the other hand, is hardly as good as he has been lately,--not as thoroughly typical of his original. The verse is about what it usually is. Throughout the number is amusing and just the thing to give us a breathing space when our lady friends have asked more questions than we are able to bear. When Bessie, for instance, asks the why, when, and wherefore of each building, the long-suffering escort may well buy her a Class Day Lampoon and refer her to page...
...rights of fellow members. Recently a certain book was prescribed in Philosophy E. Immediately the volume disappeared from the library, and not until after the class had been examined on the reading it contained, did it appear in its usual place on the shelves. Exactly the same thing occurred in the case of a prescribed book in Government 1 and there are many similar instances in the past.

In the eyes of the world we are not Smiths and Joneses, but members of Harvard College...
...yields. The President and Fellows have not built a dormitory with their own money since 1870-71, and are not likely ever to build another, unless with money given for that express purpose." This is a purely business statement. It says that in general dormitories are not a good thing for the College to own because they have not proved to be a good investment. Now, although it is fairly plain to all men who have come into the Yard from private dormitories just why the Corporation has not succeeded in renting its rooms, that is not just what seems...
