...under construction and will be ready in about three weeks. The ambulances are each to contain two stretchers, the driver sitting in the middle of the car. Besides the stretchers, the equipment consists of two blankets, two pillows, and two hot-water bags, as well as four extra wheel-rims and two inner tubes for each car. The bodies of the machines will be gray, and on their sides will be painted "From Harvard University Students." The tops will be of khaki canvas, with a red cross on a white back-ground, and also the inscriptions "The American Red Cross...
...that the committee has been pressed for exhibition space. "Pu-Pu-La," the much-talked-of celebrity, recently imported from Brockton, is expected to furnish the lion's share of amusement in the art of dodging.

When a business concern finds itself in financial difficulties which would disappear if its actual condition were consistent wish its books, its directors generally put their shoulders to the wheel and bring about a consistency. But when the Harvard University Register shows an actual deficit of a thousand dollars, none but its immediate managers seem to be concerned. The Student Council, which directs its publication, and the Harvard undergraduates, whom we might consider stockholders since they are the beneficients, take no apparent interest in the matter. If the Student Council members would realize their responsibility and if the undergraduates would...
