Comparisons, however, are out of order: Lampy has the advantage of age, the earlier start and consequently must be nearer the sparkling fountain of youth.

Hemenway Gymnasium fulfills all the requirements of seasoned old age, but as an institution for the exercise of youth it long ago displayed its infirmities. Everybody realizes the pressing need of a new gymnasium, yet it has remained for the class of 1910, young but enthusiastic, to take concerted action to further the movement for a new gymnasium started by the undergraduates this year through the Forum and Student Council. The members of the class have shown their interest in the institution and the students by pledging their best...
