While abroad last summer G. Emerson '08, manager of the University track team, conferred with representatives of Oxford and Cambridge, and discussed the situation with a view to effecting a resumption of the contests.

With these stands a larger group, and in it there are the names of many Harvard men-Goodwin, Richards, James, Royce, Pickering. Harvard surely is at the head in America, but at the head of what? At the head of a country where the balance of trade in brains is minus 100 per cent!
