...What is the matter with the Forum?" a few of its friends who remember its better days are asking. Is it completely deleted, or has it merely crept into a safe hole until the winter blows over. If the latter, then it is high time--if one may mix the metaphor--for the prince, in the person of the new President of the Speakers' Club, to awaken the sleeping beauty with a kiss. A Californian in the Law School recently wrote to his Alumni Fortnightly that Harvard students take a keener interest in public affairs than do western students. Undoubtedly...
...desired to revolutionize the managership system, this might be done, but the advantages of five specialized competitions over one general competition need not be pointed out here. It is enough to show the abuses not only possible but probable in a hybrid of the two systems. Once partiality has crept into managership competition, confidence in them is destroyed and the best men will turn their abilities to cleaner fields...

Cutler, last man for Harvard, crept up on Chambers of Princeton until he was almost even, yet Chambers managed to finish a few inches ahead...

Entering the last half-mile, Farley put up his stroke to about 36. For a short distance his crew crept up on the Freshmen, then hung for a minute and in the last 100 yards, going at almost forty strokes to the minute, gained again, finishing a little less than three-quarters of a length behind. In point of form, the University crew rowed well. Their boat rode more evenly on her keel...
