...annual Phillips Brooks House collection, which was started last Thursday, is now well under way. Up to last night, $1097.80 had been reported, although this does not include the collection from the senior dormitories.

The captain of the team which collects the most money will be made the assistant treasurer of Phillips Brooks House. The three highest individual collectors will be made the captains of next year...

...injustice does not stop here. Moving picture theatres whose price of admission is in the neighborhood of twenty-five cents are not exempt, and the undergraduate consumer of their amusement must bear the brunt. Reserved seats at theatres are on a special balck-list, and we know too well now the predilections of a certain friend in Boston who provides us with front row seats with an air of a charitable man. The galleries will probably come into their Elizabethan popularity again, and we shall learn to despise that vulgar place, the pit. Sleeping car reservations need hardly be mentioned...
