...enrolled in Military Science and Tactics 1 will decide whether Harvard remains in the van of the preparedness movement. The tradition of voluntary military service, born in the days of Revolutionary and Civil wars, was continued and strengthened by the formation of the Regiment last year. The failure to establish two units of the reserve officers' training corps at Harvard will shatter the tradition.

Several prominent track coaches have expressed the belief that Meredith has it in him to negotiate a mile in faster time than has ever been made...
...cleaned up at the short distances, and then won the four-mile championship. The year before Columbia was invincible over the short courses, and won the four-mile race at Poughkeepsie without turning a hair. So it goes, not invariable, to be sure, but with sufficient frequency to establish a fair presumption in its favor...
