...outcome of the interclub race is difficult to predict, as the crews seem to be very evenly matched. All three crews have undergone changes, especially the Newell Juniors and Weld Sophomores, whose men have been frequently shifted about to fill vacancies in their respective class crews. Of the participants in the class championship race, the Seniors have probably the fastest crew. They have been together longer than any of the other crews, and have gone through their season without a change. The Juniors have been especially unfortunate in losing men on account of sickness. The positions of stroke...
...greater care than ever in choosing the men who are to accept the trust of caring for an institution which should be regarded as Harvard's most valued possession--a veritable "House of Fellowship." Among the nominees there are men who will work for the Union. They are naturally difficult to distinguish. But every member of the Union can today well afford to weigh them in the balance of his own mind and after the dictates of his own conscience cast his vote for the men who will make the Union what it ought to be--an honor...
...play is perhaps the most difficult that the chapter has yet presented, owing to the rapidity of action and the intricacy of detail.

...Kempner '06 as Subtle, the alchemist around whom the action centres, carried off a difficult part effectively and with full appreciation of the possibilities of the role. As Drugger, a tobacco man, a minor part originally played by David Garrick, D. C. Manning '04 gave a clever and finished bit of acting; and as Face, P. E. Osgood '04 acted creditably a part requiring great swiftness of action and much ingenuity. K. K. Smith '04, as Dol, the accomplice of Face and Subtle, was convincingly feminine, and without overdrawing, infused, a great deal of spirit and dash into the role...
...complete their preparations by tomorrow night. A force of carpenters and painters are putting the finishing touches on the Elizabethan stage, under the direction of Professor H. L. Warren of the Department of Architecture, assisted by Mr. J. L. Smith. Professor Warren and his brother are completing the more difficult hand decoration themselves, and have spent a great deal of time in the work. Some very valuable and beautiful tapestry has been loaned by Mrs. A. Cary. The curtains and draperies are from the Paine Furnishing Company, of Boston. The present lighting arrangements in Sanders Theatre are not suited...
