...Temporary abolition of the Faculty Council, and restoration to the whole Faculty of the powers now exercised by the Council...
...good. In his private letters he said the things he should have said in public. He was almost smug about refusing to use his patronage powers to bring Congressmen into line. He outmaneuvered the silken Senator Nelson Aldrich on the tariff, forced substantial cuts, then watched the whole country go hog-wild over a headline which twisted a few forthright words in one of his speeches.

With the whole team veteran and newcomer alike, clicking as a unit, Harvard football is getting up from the floor after a short count, still swinging. The genius of Dick Harlow's coaching is undoubted after the way he has molded slightly undermanned Crimson teams to Big Three champions in the last two years. This fall he was faced with a gigantic rebuilding project, and it is not surprising that the going has been...
