Improve the river-front! Never, since some wild Idealist suggested making Harvard Square a business centre, has such a radical suggestion been heard, Conceal that triumph of architecture, the boiler-factory, in a spinney of Japanese hemlocks! Cover those pebbly, tin-canned shores, where laps the limpid Charles, with clumps of alligator pear trees and groo-groo palms! Yet the scheme has its advantages. The exiled Freshman, in his far-off lonely habitation, may feel that he has at least sympathy, if he can watch from his window the weeping willows drooping over the water. The lone oarsman can compromise...
...seems as if something more should be heard from the new gymnasium movement. The College understood several weeks ago that the Freshman class would soon be canvassed and that, when its pledges had been secured, definite steps would be taken towards the selection of a graduate committee to bring the building into being. The CRIMSON has recently published articles by Dean Bradford and Dr. Sargent on the subject of Harvard's physical training equipment, which have met with many queries from men wondering why the movement which is of such vital interest to us all has not been pushed with...
...After the Crimson sunset has faded into the dusk, something can now be heard of the University football team. Its season, with three tie games and two defeats, has of course been too pitifully unsuccessful for the people to call "satisfactory." In points, the team lost to Harvard by a considerable margin.

Its struggle from impotence against Colgate to excellence against Princeton has never been surpassed by any Yale team. Its playing against perhaps...
...which the wiseacres of the football coterie have never been able to solve. If they cannot explain results that have been, surely they cannot predict what results will be. "The odds are on Harvard," say some with a finality that spells a Crimson victory. But who ever heard of odds on Yale, reasonable or unreasonable? "Harvard has a better record," say others, forgetting that games are not won on records. Harvard tried the record policy in 1910 and Yale in 1911, and neither won. "Yale has the old Yale spirit," say still others, who do not know that there...
...several of these, the free lecture courses at the Lowell Institute. The course which is particularly worthy of notice at this time is Mr. Noyes's series on "The Sea in English Poetry," which has been so popular as to warrant the scheduling of its repetition. Those who heard the English poet in Sanders Theatre last spring will not fail to appreciate the beauty of his work and its appeal to the emotional as well as the literary sense of his audience. The opportunity to hear him again should not pass unchallenged...
