Unmistakable signs of distress have appeared in the field events in the two track meets this spring. In the Yale meet Harvard had one competing entry in the high-jump to Yale's four, in the pole-vault three competing entries to Yale's five, and a similarly disgraceful showing in the shot-put. If a college of three thousand students can produce only seven men eligible to compete in three field events, there is a remedy needed somewhere...

He can at once rid himself of the reminders of bygone distress and contribute to the education of coming generations by enlarging the Brooks House collection.

Only those intimately acquainted with the courts know the distress arising from inability to hire efficient legal aid and can appreciate the philanthropic possibilities of the undertaking. Furthermore, the bureau suggests possibilities for practical training of law students, for the men taking part in the work will be more than repaid in the experience, which they will gain...
