Everyone who heard Professor Lowell's speech at the CRIMSON dinner Friday night was impressed by but one thing--that in reality the Faculty and undergraduates are not strictly in conflict of views; that their aims are similar and their methods opposed. The time has come when it is no longer of any use to stand off and shout our own views, while the Faculty springs a periodic surprise in the form of a blow at intercollegiate athletics. This unfortunate controversy, that is doing Harvard so much harm throughout the country, must be stopped now! There...
...element in the athletic problem now under discussion, something ought to be said in behalf of the swimming team, and of swimming as a college interest. To be sure, little is heard of this branch of the minor sports, but that is mainly due to the lack of any University swimming pool, an institution which is needed, for obvious reasons, just as much as a new gymnasium.

Another aid to the Western schoolboy looking for information about Harvard, would be a list of all the men at Harvard from his own city or state. On such a list there would probably be the names of some men of whom he had heard, and on whose advice he could rely. It would not be a difficult matter for the University to prepare a list of the men in the University, both in the Faculty and in the student body, from each start and from each Western city of over thirty-five thousand inhabitants, and to mail such...
