There has been some comment this fall about the re-arrangement of the track meets which involves doing away with the Freshman games, and excluding "H" men from the handicap meet. The explanation of this change clearly shows its necessity...
...feature of chronicling University events in articles of some length and in such a way as to show their fundamental tendencies and relations, combined with intelligent and constructive comment, is a matter intrinsically so important that it cannot be made subservient to literary interests. Criticism of this sort is of such significance to men engaged in the activities under discussion and to the University as a whole, that it will not be allowed to fall in abeyance. In comparison with the literary productions of undergraduates, the subject of critical journalism is by far the more vital and present...
...several other courses composed largely of Freshmen are peculiarly adapted to remedy. In such elementary courses there is little material which cannot be found set forth more clearly and more fully in books than it can be in a lecture, and the value of the lecture lies more in comment and explanation than in a repetition of exposition found in the reading.

But there are two obstacles which stand in the way of building a bridge without a draw. These are the riparian rights of the Brighton Abattoir and of the Watertown Arsenal. It is altogether possible that the abattoir's license may be withheld this year, as the section in which it is located is becoming thickly populated; in this case it is not unlikely that the War Department will permit the construction of a bridge without...
