...taste. Harvard may take pride in its freedom from antiquated traditions, but it is possible to carry cynicism too far. The song, which is parodied in the Lampoon, has meant much to generations of Harvard men, and it seems almost sacrilegious to distort the well-known verses to furnish sport for a few readers. It was especially unfortunate that this should have appeared on the day of the Intercollegiate Track Meet. Harvard men might understand it as a protest against the suggestion to change the words of "Fair Harvard"; but men from other colleges--if any of them chanced...
...class crew races yesterday afternoon emphasize again the success of the secondary rowing system which has been developed during the past few years When Mr. Lehmann came to Cambridge nearly ten years ago to coach the crew, he realized the unusual opportunities to make rowing a general and popular sport at Harvard. The interest that he aroused in club, class and scrub rowing has continued to grow, with one or two setbacks, until two years ago when the dormitory races brought out more men than even Mr. Lehmann could have hoped for.

With the completion of the new Weld boathouse our material equipment will be enlarged and although commodious and faultless apparatus alone will not make Harvard the leader in college rowing, the enthusiasm for the sport is too apparent to mean anything but eventual success and leadership...

But to be effective and to compare favorably with the other colleges, our songs should be well rehearsed and to furnish this necessary practice is one of the principal objects of the meeting tonight. The members of the teams are required to practice daily, and it seems but a reasonable...
...contest is the only one for the University crew on the Charles this year and on that account is of as much interest as the races with Cornell last year and the year before have proved. It also is very pleasant for Harvard to extend to another field of sport her athletic relations with Columbia. For several years there have been contests in baseball, hockey, basketball, and other games between the two universities, but this is the first boatrace. Geographically, Columbia is situated near enough to Harvard for the two institutions to meet frequently, and it is to be hoped...
