Hasty Pudding Plans and Harvard Death Shock Campus
Harvard College affairs detail the Hasty Pudding Club spring shows with two acts, including an operetta Obispah and a farce Two Old Grads, led by Gould Post Atkinson and Thompson. Death of Seymour Howell of the Junior Class provokes campus mourning, funeral held at noon, large turnout, and choir performances. Senior Crew rowers prepare for river race as bowling results and athletic plans dominate the note. Harvard Athletic Association votes to skip interclass tug of war but to form a Varsity team for spring Mott Haven games and arrange an external match.

Importation of Foreign Books Under New Copyright Law
A discussion explains how the proposed copyright measure restricts importing foreign editions. It clarifies that individuals may still import English copies for private use, within limited quantities, while the law restricts commercial importation and publication rights.
Importation Rules for Foreign Language Books
The text explains that English translations of foreign language books are copyrighted and importable only as translations while the original editions may be imported. McKinley tariff provisions allow free import of certain art works produced by Americans or for non sale uses. The copyright law is strict about book manufacture yet permits personal import of two English editions for a private library, reflecting limited liberalization.

Advocating More Playgrounds for Boston’s Ward Areas
The city should reach an agreement with South Bay Improvement Company to acquire twenty acres offered for a public playground. Wards 16, 13, and 15 lack open space, and investing in parks benefits public welfare as much as crime prevention. A growing boy needs athletic outlets, and delaying a complete park system risks missed opportunities for children and the community.
