...before deciding definitely on the location of the Stadium, the Athletic Committee purchased two pieces of property, amounting in all to about two acres, on the south side of the field. This gave the field a square shape entirely surrounded by streets and public reservations, but with an irregular boundary line on the south side. This line has since been made straight by exchanging small pieces of land with the city of Boston. Eventually there will be a street along this side of the field, and a fence built which will entirely enclose it. A road is now being built...
...progress of reclamation of Soldiers Field has been slow and irregular. In 1905 and again in 1906 small portions of the land now available were reclaimed, but since then nothing has been done except of a rudimentary nature. The total area of the field as it is now bounded is about 61 acres. Of this about 24 acres are entirely developed, about 9 acres are underdrained but not ready for use until a proper surface has been placed upon it, and about 28 acres are entirely undeveloped...
Most difficult of all to estimate is Mr. Wheelock's achievement in "Sea-Visions." The irregular metre and occasional faulty rhymes ("moan" and "gone," "saw" and "door") are disturbing. The overlapping phrases in the first line of each stanza, on the other hand, and the insistent refrain, "O thalassa, thalassa," are decidedly effective, and only fail to be completely successful, perhaps, from the fact that they seem a bit too consciously employed. These, however, are minor faults in a poem which, as a successful attempt to treat a great theme worthily, is decidedly unusual in undergraduate verse...
...time there was a great surplus and under its influence there was a natural tendency to taking things easily in many ways. The finances were not always as economically managed as they might have been, subscriptions went down steadily, and one minor team after another was given irregular assistance, though some of them which now regard aid as almost indispensable existed for many years before such a thing was thought...
...Harvard football eleven, as it goes onto the field today, is the product of a season of development, somewhat slow and irregular to be sure, at times even unsatisfactory, but a development that has on the whole progressed constantly and favorably in the face of many discouraging obstacles. Although one game has been lost, another tied, and another won by the narrowest margin, the work of the team each week has been a distinct improvement over that of the week before. And if no game can be said to have been entirely satisfactory in every department of play...
