Each competitor will speak on a special phase of a general subject previously chosen. The speeches must be extemporaneous and only 7 minutes in length. The contest is open only to members of the Speakers' Club. These competitions have been very successful in recent years and have been largely responsible for the growing prosperity of the Club...
...crews rowed down-stream together to below the Cottage Farm Bridge. They then tried two racing starts, one against and one with the wind. The water was rough, but both times the University crew seemed to go well, and rowing about 36 strokes a minute drew a half a length ahead of the second in a short spurt. Another start was tried above the bridge, but here the crew did not seem to go as well as before. The boat did not space quite as far between strokes, the fault seeming to be in the catch...

Among the many features of the lark will be moving pictures, tremendous speeches (not with reference to length, of course), music (and other noises), and an African dodger. All members of the class of 1915 are expected to save that date and be present to heartily enjoy the festivities...

At the finish abreast of Gloucester street the Freshmen led by about a length with the first, second, and third University crews about a quarter of a length apart in that order...
