...current number of the Advocate, reviewed in another column this morning, contains an article on "The Yard Dormitories." The argument is convincing that these dormitories are not what they should be. Of course they are habitable; at times they are even delightfully comfortable, but we, as Harvard undergraduates, are not proud of them, nor are we content with them. We do not wish to blow up our Gymnasium, but we do wish to see it superseded, just as we wish to see our College dormitories modernized...
...communication in another column explains well enough the aims of the Speakers' Club, but we do not think that it gives any conclusive reason for presenting a play. While the philanthropic purpose is distinctly commendable, we believe, perhaps rather selfishly, that the undergraduates should support their own institutions before coming to the aid of outside charities. Even though the members of the cast would not have tried for Dramatic Club parts, the fact remains that they are given an opportunity to do so, and that this club deserves the support of all men interested in acting. As was shown...
...most discouraging state of affairs is disclosed by Captain Rand's communication in another column, calling for more candidates for the track team. At present there are very few fast men out for the sprints, and the figures for the weight events are even more disheartening. Strange as it may seem, there are less than five men throwing the hammer and only eight are putting the shot. It is undoubtedly true that there are many heavy men in the University who could qualify for the weight events after a spring's training with Coach Quinn, but at Harvard there...
Every year it is apparently necessary to revile the Freshman class for not supporting its various teams. The communication printed in another column this morning shows that only about 50 Freshmen considered it worth their while to report for the first practice of the crew, a state of affairs which is particularly hard to understand after Harvard's success in rowing last year. Probably the best oarsmen in the class are among this number, but as it has so often been shown, good oarsmen can be developed from men of no experience. It is to be hoped that the size...
...compile a complete list of the candidates but the CRIMSON feels responsible for presenting to its readers the facts of interest concerning those men who have evoked the greatest amount of discussion in this connection among graduates and others interested in the selection. The conservatism which should characterize this column prevents the writer from commenting on these men here and indicating personal views and preferences. It is hoped, however, that a stimulus can be given to a keener appreciation of the situation by a plain statement of facts. We find it a most interesting topic for speculation...
