...James Bryce, an adopted son of Harvard, the CRIMSON offers on the part of the undergraduates a hearth welcome. Even though we may not have all seen him before, many of us feel that we have come to know him s we have read through the pages of his "American Commonwealth." Because we feel that he understands us as a nation better than all but a very few of our own countrymen, we realize what an opportunity it is to hear him this evening upon our national problems of forty years ago and today...
...fourth period was marked with no brilliant playing, though the ball was mostly at the Holy Cross end of the field. Late in the period Wigglesworth was tackled and fell so that his ankle received the full weight of the fall. A small bone was fractured and will keep him out of the game for at least a month. The substitutes got the ball to Holy Cross's 15-yard line, when Milholland was sent in to try to duplicate his trick of the Bates game. He failed to kick a goal, however, and the game ended shortly after. Score...

The lost child is found working in a Southern cotton mill under the usual unhealthful conditions; indeed in danger of life and limb from a broken machine. In this purely incidental manner Miss McFadden shows much...
...Henry's own mill Martha finally goes. There in the spinning-room, with its racing machinery and tired children tending the bobbins, she finds two little ones who attract her. Brother and sister they appear to the world, though they have already explained to us that "Skinny" Hinks, the boy, is really the child that Lirty had left when he died in the hospital. The remainder of the act tells of Martha's attempts to secure work in the mill in order to see the children, how the foreman and a director think her an investigator and refuse...
