...feet, 2 1-4 inches held by G. R. Fearing, Jr., '93, and the world's indoor high jump record of 6 feet, 3 1-2 inches held by M. F. Sweeney. Lawrence's jump, although measured accurately by a tape that was afterwards verified, will not stand as a record, as it was not made in actual competition in a meet...

...been a rule of long standing that a candidate cannot become editor of both the Monthly and the Advocate. The reason for this rule is obvious and scarcely requires an exposition; but it is not obvious why a student may not compete in more than one of the four journalistic activities which College life supplies. Nor is it quite evident why the Lampoon has lately taken the selfish stand of debarring an undergraduate who has made the Advocate or CRIMSON from its own editorial staff. The three papers are as much alike as a hobby-horse, a Boston cab-horse...
