...were very favorable. There was little wind and a slight rain kept the surface of the river calm. The Navy got the better of the start, but the University crew soon made up the slight advantage gained. For the first quarter of a mile, both boats were very even, though the Navy rowed 40 to Harvard's 36. Then by a series of spurts the University crew drew gradually ahead, although at no point of the race did it row as high a stroke as Annapolis. At the mile, the University crew had a lead of several feet of open...
...great merit of serious purpose--which covers a multitude of rhetorical sins. The leading article, Professor Meyer's speech on War and Civilization, is a remarkable presentation of doctrine abhorrent to many, and a masterly eulogy of war. Mr. Henderson's Harvard in Cambridge Politics, though poorly written, is worth reading for its matter; it is also embellished by portraits of divers professors. Mr. Sheahan writes warmly against the doctrine that men are born equal or may be rendered equal by legislation, and maintains that despite "The Menace of Socialism," the government of the future "will be founded upon profound...
...five senses." This travesty is so funny and so well done that it lends to the whole performance an appearance of being good comedy.

...straw ballot Monday on the following question: "Resolved, That if the Constitution of the United States provided for the recall of public servants, President Taft's record would justify his recall." The voting will be simply pro or con. For election purposes the University will be divided into precincts; though it has not been definitely decided, it is expected that these will be two in number--one to include all members of the Law School; the other taking in the rest of the University. The ballot will be run off as nearly like a regular municipal ballot as possible. Hence...
...University association football team defeated Yale Saturday on Soldiers Field in a very hard-fought and well-played game, by the score of 3 to 0. In the first half the playing was very even, neither side seeming able to score, though Harvard made several very good tries, one by Seamans just missing the goal. Shortly before the end of the half, on a clever play by Chadwick and Seamans, the former scored on a header. The half ended with the ball in Yale's territory...
