Detective Burns is probably best known for his phenomenal work in tracking the McNamara brothers and forcing them to confess. As a detective, Mr. Burns should no doubt be placed at the head of the list, in America at least. Being a man who knows his work so thoroughly and who knows social conditions so well, his lecture should be very interesting...

Of course these offerings are primarily...
Looking at the matter from a Harvard point at view, we confess to a sincere hope that no such considerations will lead to change in our present coaching system. It must be admitted that the professional system has its disadvantages but so has the graduate, and we should oppose any changes that would lay us open to further adverse criticism for following a vacillating polley in our athletics. Last year Coach Pieper and Captain Dexter found no difficulty with conflict of responsibility. The system proved satisfactory: so let us stand...
