...recognition of the fact that the increased admission requirements make it difficult for the greater number of public schools to prepare pupils for admission, masters of the schools which have sent candidates, have been invited to conferences held in 1897 and 1901. The masters agreed in 1897 that the increase in requirements would be beneficial; and at the conference in 1901 were still in favor of a gradual increase. To meet the difficulty of insufficient equipment which many high schools encounter in preparing pupils in certain branches of science, the Lawrence Scientific School has been trying an interesting experiment with...
...players of the two teams were interchanged, thus giving the University backs better practice than they would otherwise have had. In the second half, with the teams playing in their correct positions, the University made five goals and the Sophomores two. The poor quality of ice made good playing difficult...

...Graduates' Night performance of the Cercle Francais play, "Les Plaideurs," was given last night in Brattle Hall.

The movement of the play was fairly well sustained, giving fair unity to the plot, which is more complicated than those of past Cercle plays. The action...
...Haviland as Daudin, the old judge, delivered his lines with fluency and acted the part of the eccentric in good style. A. C. Champollion and Haviland articulated the French verse in perhaps the best style. The acting of K. H. Gibson, playing the difficult part of the old countess, was exceedingly good, but his articulation was indistinct from his constant attempt to imitate the shrill treble of an old lady. With the exception of F. B. Thompson and L. de Koven, the acting was rather suppressed in the attempt to give the French accent and intonation correctly. E. C. Edson...
