...prospects for a strong University crew next year are very bright, as the eight will lose only three men by graduation. J. E. Waid '10, E. C. Bacon '10, and R. Whitney '11, who is taking a three-year course, will leave College. McG. A. King '10, coxswain, will also graduate this spring. To fill the three places left vacant in the eight there are several promising men in the University fours, among whom the most prominent are R. F. Hooper '11 and G. H. Balch '12. The material coming from the Freshman eight is only fair, with the exception...
...order to keep in advance of the constantly increasing demands of the law, the University Law School has added to its curriculum an optional fourth year, the successful completion of which will entitle the student to the degree of "Juris Doctor." The growth of industry and commerce in recent years has so added to the complexity of the law that there is no time in the three-year course for the study of special branches of jurisprudence...
...University, and to extend the eligibility rules to cover such cases, is a solution of the difficulty which is fair to the teams, to the individuals concerned, and to the two other universities which are in the agreement.

Only by such a measure can the real intention of the eligibility...
Just now important the three-year degree is numerically, may not be generally understood. Figures in recent president's reports indicate that nearly one fourth of the men in each class are now leaving College or entering a graduate school at the end of Junior year or in the middle of Senior year. It is easy to see how the loss of such a part of each Senior class may interfere very seriously with athletics. One can readily call to mind several recent cases in which Harvard teams have been deprived of good athletes, who were ineligible during what would...
...three-year degree is too well established as an institution to be easily changed; and it probably is to the interest of many undergraduates to finish their College course in three years. But the injury which the three-year degree is working in our athletic teams might be very much lessened if the eligibility rules were so changed as to permit men who finish their College course in three years to remain in athletics another year while studying for the degree of A. M. in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. To establish eligibility on its original wide basis...
