...college man of today is an old custom. To the majority it is simply one which ruled in their Freshman year, so shifting is the college community, and so soon are traditions formed. To call the actual exercises around last year's tree an old custom seems a bit ridiculous to the grad of but half a dozen years standing, and to designate those of six years ago in the same manner, equally so to the the alumni of the seventies. Thus to give up the Tree Exercises as they were last year does not appear such an unpardonable sacrifice...
Under Mr. Storrow's coaching the Sophomore crew has made great improvement of late. The men are at present rowing with more dash and life than any other eight on the river. Higginson sets an excellent stroke and his crew back him up well. Their boat is still a bit unsteady and although the oars go in sharply it is with a smash rather than a clean hard nip. The crew was set back yesterday when it was discovered that Biddle would be unable to row on account of college work. Glidden, who was tried at 3 again on Monday...
...quality most rare in descriptions,- that of swiftness. But the swiftness is not maintained, and after this promising beginning the story declines unaccountably but yet perceptibly toward the common-place. The description of DaVinci's "La Gioconda by W. C. Arensberg 1900, is a remarkably subtle and sure bit of analytic character drawing. In spite of its inverted sentences a "Paragraph from Hawailan History," by W. R. Castle 1900, is readable and very interesting. Other contributions in the number are "A Comedy of Errors," by J. G. Forbes 1901, and "My Complication with the Major" by P. G. Carleton...
...crew also has been considerably shaken up. Thomson who was a bit fine has gone away for a week's rest, and Marvin is still unable to row. Yesterday McDuffie who has rowed 7 for the past two years, and who has been unable to row this spring, came out and was given his old seat in the boat. Donald was again in the first boat and rowed at 6; Swift rowed bow and Hodges 4. Perkins took McDuffie's place during the latter part of the rowing. The following men went to the training table at Young's this...
...suitable approach from the park now being formed on the river bank but a short distance away. "It is not beyond the powers of imagination to suppose that the city might lend its aid to unite thus the river park and the College grounds by a short bit of park-like road. Then there is the decision as to main axes, so that breadth and long vistas may be obtained in the future when the buildings will inevitably be closer together than now. The axis through the Quincy street property might bear some relation to Memorial Hall...
