...Union tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock. Mr. Churchill is well known not only as a novelist but also as one of New Hampshire's leading citizens. He will speak on some subject connected with conditions in Europe due to the present war. This will be the third in the series of lectures and entertainments which the Union is giving this season...
...unfortunate fact that in these mercenary days there occasionally appear strong plays that have "gone wrong." "Outcast," which had its Boston premier at the Hollis Theatre last night, is just such a play. It should have ended at the close of the third act, but, evident deference to the box office, which is still apt to insist that a play should end happily, resulted in a fourth act of stereotyped reconciliation and happy conclusion.

The same is true...
Lead by Captain Mahan, who played with a brilliant versatility, the Harvard offense succeeded in showing some real football, especially in the third quarter, when the Crimson took the ball from Harvard's 18-yard line and carried it straight down the field across the Penn. State goal line. It was an 82-yard march made by short but sure advances, a flash of that plow-like attack that has been used so gloriously by past Harvard teams...
