Yesterday, we are reminded, was September 22, anniversary date of President Lowell's tiff with the traffic constabulary of Plymouth, Mass. It is not inappropriate to relate here a little incident which occurred shortly after. Lowell had just finished his opening address to the Freshman class. A roar of hand-clapping accompanied him from the New Lecture Hall platform. Shaking his head with wonted vigor, the President grinned, and remarked to a companion, "Apparently the Freshmen don't think any less of me."

When we had opportunity to appraise the energies of Colonel Charles R. Apted '06 yesterday afternoon, we were somewhat inclined to regret our previous animadversion re Spanish Trunk labels. It was a joy to behold Harvard's Harried Hawkshaw grouping Newsmen on the front stops of Weld Hall so that F. D. R. Jr. could escape by a back way. There were no interviews, no posed photographs. Even a roommate avoided the stigma of borrowed glory by holding a large cardboard over his face.

It is authentically related that after F. D. R. Jr. had finished with his room, Harvard's H. H. stopped fidgeting long enough to suggest, "All right, now let's go register over In Memorial Hall."

"Difference, not indifference" shouts the Critic. True. It was within the memory of man, (i.e. last spring) when the CRIMSON rec'd this bit:--"The.. manuscripts.. have been.. petty, (and) the editors declared that the next issue.. would not appear until fall." The stick continues, "Some of the most intelligent men in the University (Critic editors) have written on such subjects as the conversion of the chapel into a hockey rink, a University institute for the dissemination of birth control devices."

The Critic, one may add, finds itself not alone in its joy over the word "difference."

When the Press tried to catch Frank Ryan yesterday afternoon they were confronted by one of the Colonel's Cerberi. "You can't get In" the old song droned. "But Frank Ryan told us to be here this afternoon." "Who's he," came the response, "one of the football players?"

Ah, "'Tis sweet to hear the watchdog's honest bark."

He department:--"Ladder 1 is now 14 years old, and probably the city will purchase another before the building is ready... If the football gate receipts in the Stadium hit a new high, Harvard, according to rumors, may play the role of proud parent and give one to the city. That, of course, has to be 'Hushed' just now." ......Boston Globe, copied by Cambridge Tribune.

We do our part.
