...most 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...

It is apparent that every effort will be made to make the service and menus as attractive as possible and there is no reason why it cannot be made as pleasant as any boarding place in Cambridge...
