...outside the hallowed cloisters of Kirkland House, a garbage truck was loading its inimitable wares and in return, unloading the empty tin cans noisily on the side walk. This din continued for a few months to the misery of all in the neighborhood when one appeared, who, by his bearing, was evidently chief among the garbage coterie. His minions, not noticing him, continued their cacophony until a shout silenced them momentarily...
Monkeys who catch pigeons n midair en route from one tree to the next, monkeys who juggle china cups without breaking them, monkeys who walk and almost even talk are to be the goal of the expedition, the first half of which will leave New York for Singapore on the S.S "Kota Tjandi" on December...
...Harvard there are two kinds of tutors. The first, who draw their salary from the University, are chiefly pipe-smoking, tweedy young faculty members who are supposed to give undergraduates leisurely official coaching for their general examinations.

...topics interesting to Harvard men deserves a spirited rendition of "Wintergreen". It touches the weakest spot in the armour of "Lampoon" and "Advocate" partisans. The "funnyman" makes no more mature interpretation than youthful jollity and a liberal allowance of beer can produce, while the muses of the "Advocate" often walk too high on literary Helicon for the vulgar population to follow them. Yet if the intended sacrifice of intellectuality to readability in the new magazine means a shoddy, superficial interpretation of Harvard life, the price for its existence will be exorbitant...
