...Advocate begins its current issue with a call for more candidates; but it would seem that the candidates do enough already. So far as the signatures attached to the articles give any sign, candidates have written all the prose of the number with the exception of a modest page of editorial paragraphs, the joint product, we presume, of ten literary editors. The editorials are sensible and good-natured, but a small enough mouse for such a mountain of approved talent...
...Speakers' Club has never been intended as a rival of the Dramatic Club, as you seem to suggest, but was formed by men interested in various forms of platform speaking and oral expression. Some of the members are interested in debating, others along the lines of the Boylston Competition, others in dramatic interpretation with reference to good elocution and vocalization, while there are still others who simply want practice in expressing their thoughts before an audience with clearness and conciseness. The arrangements committee in outlining the work of the club has been forced to keep these various interests in mind...
...discouraging state of affairs is disclosed by Captain Rand's communication in another column, calling for more candidates for the track team. At present there are very few fast men out for the sprints, and the figures for the weight events are even more disheartening.

It is undoubtedly true that there are many heavy men in the University who could qualify for the weight events after a spring's training with Coach Quinn, but at Harvard there is apparently...
Although Captain Severance's resignation must be a severe blow to Harvard's rowing prospects, it does not deprive the future of all promise. There seems still a slight possibility that he will be in condition to row later in the season, but even without him there will be back in College and eligible to row six members of last year's eight. Three members of last year's four-oar, P. Ellis '09, F. A. Reece '09, and P. Withington '09, are eligible again this year, and in addition there is available material from last year's Freshman squad...
...first thought all these descriptions of our virtues may seem rather an unnecessary and vulgar form of advertising, but on consideration the merits of this far-reaching plan are evident. Across the Hudson River, the idea prevails that Harvard is too much a New England college, and that a man from the West is not welcome here. It is to dispel this unfortunate illusion and to present the true state of affairs in Cambridge that speakers are being sent throughout the country, armed with facts which cannot be controverted...
