...finals are to be played before May 27 and gold medals will be awarded to the winner and the runner up. The following class captains have been appointed for the class tournaments. W. Hickox, Jr., '08, H. H. Wilder '09, W. F. Morgan, Jr., '10, H. C. Clark...
...both doing good work at present. In the two-mile run Yale has M. Lightner '09, and M. B. Vilas '09, while Harvard has M. S. Crosby '08, who won the event last year, R. E. Dole '10, and M. H. Whitney '09. Vilas is a good cross-country runner and a hard man to beat in the two-mile. Crosby is about the same as last year, while Dole and Whitney have improved a great deal so that the University has about an even chance of winning the event...
There was no "blunder" nor was there "unexplainable lack of judgment." A very little sane consideration will show this conclusively, now that the first keen disappointment in losing a race which, frankly, everyone expected to win, is over. What were the facts?

He has made better time in the half-mile run than any other man in College. He had had sufficient practice. A bad ankle, which had prevented his training...
...Saturday night the University relay team, one of the strongest that ever represented Harvard, met defeat at the hands of a Yale team, simply because the fact was blindly ignored that a good runner out of condition is not so efficient as a less able one who is physically fit. Coach Lothrop was directly responsible for an error in judgment, Captain Dodge indirectly so, because he was not on hand to oversee the team. The material was there, but the foresight and headwork were lacking. In this respect Yale was superior, and we do not wish to belittle her victory...
...providing in Cambridge plays of real merit. It is some years since Forbes Robertson played "Hamlet" in Sanders Theatre; but there is no reason why we should wait several more years for a similar performance. Miss Maude Adams's first performance on a Harvard stage should be the fore-runner of the appearance of many other actors and actresses who are willing to appear before Harvard audiences in Cambridge, rather than have a few undergraduates see them each night in Boston. Our audiences are critical, but they appreciate a good play and can give as good a reception...
