...Widener Room of the Widener Memorial Library there is now on view for a fortnight an interesting exhibit of first editions, manuscripts and autograph letters of Alfred Tennyson and Elizabeth and Robert Browning.

Due to careful control of expenditures and wise management during the past years, a formidable crew, nine, tennis team and lacrosse team are once more able to carry the Crimson southward. Dean Briggs and his colleagues deserve the thanks of everyone interested in the welfare of athletics at Harvard for their untiring effort in maintaining athletics so wisely and economically during such troubled years...
