...when Recorder John Price asked Starter McHugh to sign the affidavit certifying the performance for acceptance by the Amateur Athletic Union, McHugh shook his head, took the pen and wrote, "I certify that it was a false start. Borican, the winner, beat the gun by about one yard." Asked why he had not called the runners back, Veteran McHugh replied: "Truthfully, I don't know...
Callahan, Columbia leader, triumphed in the 300-yard individual medley in 3:34.2, a new National Intercollegiate mark. The old record of 3:39.6 was set by former Yale leader Macionis in 1936.

But if there should be any attempt to use the bargaining power of the closed shop as a big stick with which to beat unreasonable concessions from the University, or by means of which to foist unsatisfactory workers on the dining halls, then the present harmonious agreement would be disrupted. To keep face in a socially-conscious community, Harvard must continue its liberal labor policy; to keep faith with Harvard, the Union must observe the spirit...
