Only trouble with the comparison is that air conditioning has been in its infancy for the last 30 years. In 1903, the same year that the Wright brothers were getting their airplane off the ground for the first time, Willis Carrier put the first airconditioning system in the plant of a Manhattan lithographer who found that on hot days the humidity wrinkled his paper. By 1906 Willis Carrier had devised an air conditioning system for use in cotton mills, which up to then had such a problem keeping humidity in their spinning rooms that they operated with windows open...

By the few roundabout comparisons that can be made, they appear to be definitely weaker than the Crimson, but equally definitely not the set-up Virginia was last year.

...their rooms and worry about an exam when adequate books or notes for preparation were available in the library. They would use the facilities. Parallel reasoning holds true with regard to using deans. With classes as large as they are at Harvard, and with deans few in comparison to the number of students, it is not expedient to send out personal invitations to each individual to drop in for a chat. Nevertheless, University officials are ready to see all who want to come, even if only for such a chat...
