...With ideal weather conditions the spring handicap track games on Saturday afternoon brought out a number of excellent performances. Two new Harvard records were established and close competition was the rule in all the events. P. R. Withington '12, running from scratch, broke the University two-mile record, made by H. Jaques, Jr., '11, in the dual meet with Yale at New Haven in 1909, by 12 1-5 seconds, his time for the distance being 9 minutes, 34 3-5 seconds. T. Cable '13, the other record breaker, threw the 16-pound hammer 150 feet, 7 8-10 inches...

The cost of fencing instructor and the expenses of the fencing team would not exceed $1000 per annum. As it is now, without the gate receipts from football and baseball, the other teams, including the crew, the track team...
This materialism enters into every phase of our modern life, into our educational scheme, into relations between capital and labor, even into our religion. It is the practical ideal which is the choice of the vast majority of those who have the power to choose, and religion is tolerated in so far as it contributes to worldly wealth. The value of a civilization is to be tested by the culture that it prompts, but of true culture this age is almost guiltless, the mad race for wealth leaving no room for it.
