...main arguments for the change are those of academic propriety and uniformity. Our four professional schools, Theology, Law, Medicine and Arts and Sciences are all graduate schools and their degree is therefore a second degree. Two of them confer a Doctors' degree and two a Bachelors'. It seems difficult to justify this discrimination, the practice of conferring what is normally a first degree upon persons who have already their primary degree...
...peculiarly fitted for his part of Father Chartreuse. At the close of the second act, he removed his cowl and appeared in white satin to sing the "coon song,"--one of the best musical numbers in the show. In John de Breeze, C.A. McCarthy '02 took a difficult part very well. He showed considerable skill in his interpretation -- more, in fact, than an amateur usually possesses. His work was notably good when he appeared with the princess; their love duet in the second act was the best song in the opera. A. S. Proudfoot '02, as the princess, deserves praise...

As a matter of fact, however, one crew or another is likely to start at top speed, particularly when several are in the race, and therefore the crews must be trained accordingly. It is extremely difficult and sometimes inexpedient to hold a crew down to a slow normal stroke under such conditions. On the whole, therefore, having regard to the impracticability of expending a long period in training, and considering the deleterious after-effects which are not infrequently connected with the longer contests, the three-mile event...
...second victory over the Newtowne Athletic Association Saturday by a score of 7 to 2. Both teams played fast and aggressively, although the Newtowne team did not show its full strength until the latter part of the game. Considering the poor condition of the ice, which made passing very difficult, the improvement displayed by the Harvard team was considerable. The team play was the best this season, and the work in general was spirited and effective. At times, however, there was a noticeable tendency to crowd too much in defense of the goal and thus make it hard...
