...time that a group of Cambridge women have received more than individual thanks for certain work they have carried on for many months. When the Naval Radio School was established here bringing in over twelve hundred men from various parts of the country, few people thought much of how these future sailors were to be entertained during their leisure hours. Cambridge had long been branded as a stiffed-back place, where letters of introduction and credentials were indispensable. Many women, and among these were wives of faculty members, immediately proved how false such a generalization was. A canteen was started...
Teamwork has been the objective of this week's Freshman training, as this was the greatest defect in their play against the Radio School last Saturday. The team has not progressed so rapidly as former Freshman teams, and so far does not seem equal to the team of last year's entering class.

From reveille at 5.30, through clases in the morning, afternoon, and sometimes early evening, the men are following strictly a schedule until "lights out" at 10 o'clock. Drill for the two battalions is held for a short time each afternoon and soon a review on Soldiers' Field every Saturday morning at 10 o'clock will be a regular part of the week's program. The importance of drill, however, at the Radio School, is not so great as in other camps of a different nature...
