...Pilgrim colonists first grounded their shallop upon the shores of Cape Cod, and established a new race and traditions which were destined to spread across continents and throughout nations. Three hundred years is but a short span of the world's life, yet human memory is sometimes shorter. How fitting is it, then, that on this day we should turn for a time from out shuttles, and books, and plowshares, to remember and do homage to the courage of the Pilgrims and to the ideals which led them forward...
...does labor strike? Figures published by the Bureau of Mediation and Arbitration in New York show that of the 240 industrial disputes in that state for one year, 139 were for higher wages, 21 for shorter hours and 37 were on the question of trade unionism. The most noticeable, feature of these statistics is that the number of demands for higher wages was 52 percent greater than in the previous report. It indicates clearly the attitude of labor to force its demands without reasoning matters out. For the idea of settling higher wages in proportion to greater production never appeared...
...upon to take care of the dashes and 220-yard events. J. C. Jacobson '21 and R. F. Thayer '23, the former ineligible last year, and the latter the captain of the Freshman team last season, are two other reliable men who are expected to do well in the shorter distance events.

Captain O'Connell led the Freshmen around the shorter course. There was no race, as it is early in the season, and the men kept together as well as possible. In spite of this the pace was a sharp one and Captain O'Connell with about seven Freshmen covered the course in 20 minutes. This remarkably fast time for the first trial gives great promise for a fine Freshman cross-country team. Prescott and Saunders were two of the 1924 men, who finished in the lead...
