...heart the interest of Harvard track athletics, and its members have been chosen with the object in view of furthering the welfare of the sport. The faults which the CRIMSON article wished to have investigated have been considered and are being worked out to the best ability of its members. The handicap of drawing few preparatory school stars together with a lack of undergraduate interest is difficult to overcome. Constructive suggestions would be welcomed by this committee as it feels responsible for this year's policy. W. M. RAND '09. Chairman, Graduate Committee on Track Athletics...

Nourse, Gennert and Funk, all football players, will be able to take care of the hammer-throwing contests, and Sinclaire and Cleveland will...
Barlowe Borland as Peter, Huber's first helper, with his Scotch appearance and an undisguiseable Highland accent contrasted excellently with the suave Bart who never finds himself at a loss no matter how trying the situation. Peter furnishes one of the best moments in the play with his comments at the society reception where he is an extra waiter, with his remarks of "have a drink, lady?" and "wot am I doing, oh, picking up the empties...
