Besides starring on the football squads of three years, Pratt has also figured heavily in the summary of the track teams, both Freshman and University for the last two years. Against Yale last spring he gained three second places in his specialties, the shot-put, the javelin throw, and the discus event. He also qualified for the Intercollegiates on the following week-end, and though he failed to break into the scoring column in the face of the country's best weight men, he showed sufficient potentiality to make him a serious threat for intercollegiate honors this spring...

Perhaps Mr. Leo Bulgakov of the Moscow Art Theatre is doing better justice to Gozzi at the Provincetown than could ever be done on the shores of Brattle, but Stark Young would have to admit that this is an improvement over "Brown of Harvard"-with all due justice...

Sir Douglas (now Earl) Haig insisted that his army was "shot to pieces," asked, "How can we advance...

This is indeed an important revelation and one which should do much to throw light on world affairs.
