With the departure of the crew for Red Top the final stage of preparation for the Yale race has begun. It cannot be denied that an unusual amount of hard luck has fallen to the lot of the crew authorities this year. Sickness, bad weather, and the difficulty of choosing the best men for certain positions, have all had their share in postponing the final selection of an eight. The Columbia race was unsatisfactory, but in the contest on Lake Cayuga, handicapped though they were, the men showed what they could do on an unfamiliar course, and under adverse conditions...

Joshua Crane, Jr., '90, one of the invited guests, gave a brief talk on "Athletics."

Now, what the human mind wants in outdoor exercise is recreation, and not work. The Marathon run gives us an example of what men will do who are inspired with...
Immediately after a recent lecture by Dr. Grenfell in the Union, a notice was placed in the CRIMSON re-opening an old subscription to endow a Harvard bed in Dr. Grenfell's hospitals in Labrador. The amount raised by this renewed appeal is $76. The amount subscribed after the previous visit of Dr. Grenfell was $636, making the total $712. The amount necessary to endow the bed is $1200. Very truly yours, WALLACE C. SABINE...
