If there is any place in America
which may be said to have a con
centration of I.Q. Brain-Power, it
can certainly be evidenced in the
Boston, Massachusetts area. Here
it is that over 200 colleges and
universities thrive from the un
believable total of young people
that attend them. Among the
notables of the colleges in this
area are Harvard, Wellesley and
Radcliffe, not to mention MIT
and a great many more.
A remarkable degree of tole
ration must be evidenced in order
for so many school spirits to co
exist side by side and this is evi
dently the case. A case in point
is the case of the Radcliffe girl
who daily attends classes with
Harvard.
The President of Radcliffe re
cently noted with some alarm that
it could be in a few years that
Radcliffe would simply merge into
Harvard and not exist as a sepa
rate entity.
At present, the President should
have no alarm. The Radcliffe girl
is easily distinguishable from her
male counterpart. The "Cliffie,"
as she is not too lovingly called
by surrounding girls whose schools
are not located quite as con
veniently nearby, daily attends
classes in not-too-clean levies and
a sweat shirt. She may often be
seen in freezing temperature on a
bicycle, her hair in pigtails, her
feet in sandals, pedalling around
Harvard square. She is said to
have the highest degree of in

Harvard, on the other hand, will
invariably part his hair on the
left side, wear a tie, shirt, V
neck sweater, slacks and sports
coat no matter what the weather.
He spends spare hours in Cronin's,
an imitation beer parlor which
charges alarming rates for every
thing.
The BMOC's at Harvard are
on the rowing crew and are mem
bers of Hasty Pudding, one of
the few social clubs on campus,
(there are no fraternities). Living
quarters t h e r e resemble pent
houses and girls are freely ad
mitted. Thus one can readily see
that unless something drastic hap
pens, Harvard and Radcliffe are
at opposite ends of the bridge and
quite likely will stay that way.
Speaking of bridges . . . at MIT
there is the oft-repeated story of
Smoot. Whether true or not, re
mains to be seen, but it comes
in handy when an upper classman
tries to compete with some of the
outlandish stories Harvard has in
its repertoire in impressing a Wel
lesley co-ed, for example. The story

goes that Smoot was taken to one
of the many bridges which span
the Charles river by some of his
fellow classmates. It was decided
that a measurement should be
taken of the bridge with Smoot as
the measuring stick. Much later
(and to a very tired Smoot, much,
much later), it was learned with
some exactitude that it took 364
Smoots and one ear from one end
of the bridge to the other. The
name and the tale have stuck, re
sulting in the "Smoot" Bridge.
Across the bridge and outside
the main part of the city one
comes upon Wellesley. With archi
tecture reminiscent of English
castles and mansions, Wellesley
houses 1,700 of the area's female

about articles . . . well, there are three-a, an, & the.
CONTEMPLATIONS ON YOUTH
or GET YOUR FOOT IN THE DOOR
Shades of Beowulf-one might profit by heeding the
Sigemund episode in which the fire-spreading dragon was
eventually consumed by the fire and venom of his own
entrails. . . . Lest we forget-"Things were made to be
used, people were made to be loved; the two cannot be turned
around." . . . "You have heard the sound of two hands clap
ping; what's the sound of one hand clapping?"
CONTEMPLATIONS ON INNOCENCE
Discussion fizzled immediately because a conclusion was
reached without much thought that innocence in deed (in
deed?) but not in thought is best!
ANIMAL FARM?
"All that a man achieves or fails to achieve is a direct
result of his own thoughts." (stolen) . . . But how hard it is
to think anymore. Our thoughts and words are mere apathet
ic repetitions, quotations, and plagiarisms of what we read
n the newspapers or hear on the radio and TV or what we
hear someone else say that no doubt was gleaned from such
sources. Pick your title-a nation of sheep or a nation of
parrots, or what about ostriches?-.Jackdonkeys, any way
you look at it.
And an analogy to government spending?-shooting a
big black cricket in a cricket cage with a blue elephant gun
what a waste of shells!
"Something there is that doesn't like a wall"-a wall
topped with barbed wire, that is. Are such extremities
really necessary?
Someone has compared the graduate facilities in Davis
College to an eighteenth century garden where the lord of
the house turned his guests loose in the maze of hedges and
watched them go crazy.
QUOTES FROM PROFS
"According to one little cutie in history 21 'Saratoga' is
defined as 'the killing of a president; hence Lincoln was
the first president to be Saratogaed'." And Monmouth was
the battle where both armies Were "Stablemated."
