Yale freshmen tried to buy display space for their class flag at the New Haven Opera House. After a manager refused, a student hired as a “supe” attached the flag to a boat on stage, making it visible for about ten minutes as pandemonium followed and sophomores hissed. English capitalists study a Windermere to Ambleside railroad through the lake district for summer travel.
