...season was that of John D. Rockefeller Jr. He and his father have given more than a half billion dollars to general education, disease prevention and like social factors. They make no stint of their giving. Yet the younger John D. Rockefeller, at the 153rd commencement exercises of Brown University, his alma mater, last week forced himself to declare that the time is close when wealthy men will find themselves unable to keep up with the demands of education institutions for gifts...
...known power of the first Harvard crew to represent the regime of Head Coach E.J.

Haines did the same with the 1930 oarsmen, finding the course too rough for more than a slight workout...
...University eight has its last four mile time trial ahead of it tomorrow before the Yale race. Coach Brown has not decided as yet whether he will have it paced or not. If he decides against pacing the University oarsmen, the Seconds, the Combination and the Freshmen will stage a two mile race. Otherwise they will take turns at testing the mettle of the Crimson hopes...
