This form of sport can offer a great deal of recreation in a minimum amount of time to every undergraduate who enjoys shooting and is not otherwise occupied. In order to insure the success of the Gun Club it is essential that a real interest be shown by a considerable number of men. All upper-classmen interested are requested to get in touch with P. S. Howe '17, temporary manager, Randolph 12, or make inquiries at the H. A. A. Office; Freshmen should report to W. A. Flagg '19, Standish A 32. This should be done as soon as possible...

Crew men complain that this question does not concern the undergraduate body. Perhaps it does not, but one would think that the men who work hard and faithfully for six months of the year, who go through a period of training much more rigid than any other sport, and who give the last ounce of their strength in the Yale race, would bitterly resent such a lack of appreciation on the part of the men they strive so hard worthily to represent. As has been said before, the average undergraduate has no faith in the present system, a system which...
