...sound photographers are chiefly interested in the experimental use of three separate stages as alcoves at the rear of the main forestage. Different scenes will take place simultaneously in these separate partitions, a most uncommon procedure in the American theatre. The stage structure, located in the Rogers Building, formerly the workshop of the Cambridge School of the Drama, is not a revolving one, such as is used in "Grand Hotel", but instead the amphitheatre can be made to turn around on castors and rails fitted to the bottom of the stands. It is hoped that there will be no necessity...
...many years ago", he is quoted as saying, "it was not uncommon to see a dozen cops pile into a wagon and hurry off to quell some riot in a dormitory entry, or in the Square. In my own student days our various committee meetings and editorial conferences were held in the crowded saloons of Harvard Square. Our class dinners and commencement gatherings were occasions of drunken revelry. It used to be a point of honor never to leave a drunken classmate in Boston or down at the port.

The hard-riding opposition receives additional strength from the presence of Captain F. D. Sharp, the Harvard coach, who plays with a sting which is uncommon in indoor polo. It is hoped that L. S. Dillingham '34, star first line player who has been laid up the last few weeks will see action next week, when the malletmen face the 110th Cavalry...
...hand a medical report concerning the phenomenon. The seven suffer from "hereditary ectodermal dysplasia of the anhidrotic type." That is, they lack sweat glands, and the lack is hereditary. However, the seven Mississippi cases are related only as indicated above. This suggests that the failing is not so uncommon as heretofore believed (only 23 cases have been reported previously in medical literature). The ailment must often escape medical attention. Along with the lack of sweat glands goes a lack of teeth. None of the seven Mississippi cases has more than two teeth...
