RED BOOK OUT TODAY--$2.50 TO SUBSCRIBERS

A limited edition of 400 copies of the 1923 Class Red Book will be placed on sale to members of the Freshman class and may be obtained at the price of $2.50 from the editor-in-chief, M. Duane, at James Smith B-12 between 1 and 2.30 o'clock today. In anticipation of the demand for these first volumes, it has been decided that all Freshmen who have ordered two Red Books will be entitled to receive one today and the other Friday, June 4, when the remainder of the books will be delivered from the bindery. Those who have ordered but one, by subscribing for a second volume from Duane today, may secure their first copy from the early edition, and their second from the edition of Friday. No Freshman will, however, be allowed to secure his Red Book today unless he has subscribed for two volumes. At the last part of the week copies will be placed on sale at the Cooperative and the Branch Store.

In general appearance and quality the Red Book of this year ranks far superior to those issued by former classes. The size of the pages has been somewhat increased and the book is bound in stiff board leather covers rather than the flexible ones formerly used. The 1923 Red Book is nearly a third larger than the issue of last year, and in fact is the most inclusive ever published, exceeding its nearest rival, the 1919 number, by more than 50 pages.

The 1923 issue is dedicated to the memory of Henry Lee Higginson '52, and contains a short summary of his life work and his connections with the University. Among the innovations for the year are write-ups of the new departments of Military Science and Compulsory Physical Training. There is also a review of the work of the Phillips Brooks House Association. Proceeding on to widespread system of enlargement, the space devoted to all sports, major and minor, has been increased, and the number of cuts is greater than ever before. For the first time a section is devoted to the Jubilee as well as the Class Song and Class Poem. In the latter part of the book several leaves of full page cuts have been introduced which add materially to the general appearance.

The business department has kept fully up to the standard set by the other branches and has succeeded in securing 86 pages of advertising, for the first time not being forced to make concessions in the rates. Changing from drawings of humorous nature to others more serious and more artistic, the Arts Department kept fully astride of the trend of advancement. Taken as a whole the 1923 Red Book is a decidedly laudable production, a production meriting praise in spite of several rather evident errors in proof apparently missed in the haste to have the book ready in time for the Jubilee.
