...communication, printed in another column, seeks to make a comparison between the new military course and the Regiment, and one which is unfavorable towards the plan of a reserve officers' training corps.

The lack of contestants in the field events for the past several years has been the subject of so much comment from the University at large that it is unnecessary to go into details at present. The fact remains that a large number of men have totally failed to bear their share of the University's athletic responsibility, and as a result, the excellent work of our sprinters and long-distance men has often been offset...
