...contender in the next intercollegiate by hard work and a general awakening of interest in track as a sport. Most men have the makings of track athletes in one of the many branches of the sport. But even the best latent sprinters and embryo shot-putters will remain in oblivion if they do not come out for track earnestly. Cornell's victory is an object lesson in the value of training and the possibilities of raw material which the University may well emulate; in fact, we must do so if any success in track is to be hoped...
...make of it a self-operating institution. This year leaders seem conspicuously absent. According to the testimony of the fourteen members of the Federation who attended the meeting in the Union last evening to hear Dr. Fitch, the handbook, having no definite custodian, has strayed off the road into oblivion somewhere between here and last September. It was established with an ideal worthy of a better fate. If the Territorial Clubs are insistent upon dying, it will, we suppose, descend eventually to that already overburdened organization--the Student Council--for support. But if the Territorial Clubs can revive sufficiently...

It is certainly not the realism of Mr. Thomas Hardy, who would be as deeply buried in oblivion as Robert Bloomfield if his characters were as inexpressive as Tobin. It is the realism of the camera and the phonograph: It records external phenomena of action and of speech (Mr. McCormack's use of dialect is accurate); but it ends where literature should begin.

...glad to hear that the Student Council has taken on itself the responsibility of entertaining visiting teams. Last year a committee for this purpose was appointed by the Athletic Committee, but it has apparently sunk into oblivion, and some permanent body is needed to take its place. We cannot overestimate the importance of fulfilling this duty carefully. Too often have visiting teams left Cambridge feeling that Harvard was distinctly unfriendly, simply because an overworked manager was the only one supposed to look out for them, and he had too many other important things to do. With no one to extend...
