Keenest interest focused on the First Category, since its 16 members will constitute a sort of extraordinary upper house.* One name eclipsed the other 15 in significance?Roberto Farinacci. His role has been the most sinister in Fascist Italy, and the most obscure...
...present the office of proctor in an upperclass dormitory is in many ways a gesture. It is to the credit of upper-classmen that the proctor does not have an especially active disciplinary program to carry out in the hall. On the other hand, the proctor among the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors is usually as alien to the social life of his constituency as though he resided in a different college.

Defanged snakes quickly grow...

The CRIMSON has pointed out that "the permanence of a Memorial Church demands that it harmonize with the Harvard of the future." With the probable transposition of the three upper classes to the area below Mt. Auburn Street there is a logical argument for a reconsideration of the site of the new Chapel. What promises to be a new center of Harvard life is certainly a suitable setting for the memorial, and furthermore the inviolability of the Yard familiar to generations...
