Thus the CRIMSON has in a measure refuted one of the main contentions made by Professor Fisher of Yale who saw in the vote conducted by the Yale News the expression of people unacquainted with the state of things in the past. While there are few of the undergraduates here who have...
Princeton looks better in the weights, while Harvard seems to have a decided edge in the straight running events. The basis for comparison is very slight, however, since neither team has had much competition so far.

...small colleges at Harvard developed along such social lines, there would be no improvement over the present system. It is not likely, however, that they would so develop.

Therefore, although it may be difficult to trace these connections later, we must admit that they existed many centuries before the beginning of the Christian era, possibly as early as 3,000 B. C. The painted ceramics of Northern China are, by the way, about the best which have been found...
