...last someone has been found who actually peruses our "Through The Years," column, worthy chronicle of the doings of yesteryear at Harvard. Prominent in that section of the editorial page of yesterday's paper was an announcement in the reprints of 1909 stating that a "large fire-proof building is being constructed at the Herbarium to serve as a place for the preservation of classified specimens...
...LEVEL - Anne Parrish - Harper ($2.50). Modern Magellans pay cash not only for the privilege of circumnavigating the globe but for the doubtful pleasure of doing it in each other's company.

Yesterday the Vagabond saw a magazine which nearly quenched his nostalgia for the penny-dreadfuls of yesteryear. It was the Athletic Association "News." At first the issue appeared to be the same Brutes and Brawn confection that has occupied Mr. Ryan's spare moments for years. But on page twenty of the issue which the Vagabond stole from his neighbor's doorsill there was an editorial dripping with the true sweetness and light...
