...first official time trial of the first University crew was made yesterday, when under ideal weather conditions with an ebb tide of about two hours and a following wind of ten knots, four miles were covered in 19 minutes, 43 seconds, which beats the Yale time by over a minute. The second University paced Crew A over the first two miles and nosed out a victory, but C. C. Lund '16 was saving his men for the last half, as the Freshmen were waiting to give them a race over the last lap. The 1919 boat was going along...
...given than the petition now being circulated in favor of the confirmation of the appointment of Mr. Louis D. Brandeis, LL.B. '77, to the Supreme Court of the United States. From all outward signs it has seemed during the present year that such interest was at a low ebb. The Forums, for example, have attracted unusually few men; the topic of Preparedness alone has aroused widespread discussion and led to action. The significant feature of this petition in favor of Mr. Brandeis is the spontaneity of its origin; it was not started by any University organization, but by a group...
...many times have we sat at breakfast, that meal when spirits are at their ebb, and berated the Faculty for the rules which they were going to pass for Freshmen in the dormitories by the river. This morning we are all shamed by the announcement of the rules which have been passed. For once, Being and Not-Being have become nearly one.

We are glad to know that attendance at meals...
...stroke was gradually raised, finishing at 36. The time taken was 21 minutes, 53 seconds, which was good, considering the fact that no attempt was made to speed except at the last few strokes. The conditions were fair, the water being smooth and the very last of the ebb running, it being almost slack water. The work of the crew was very satisfactory and especially during the first half-mile in which the Freshmen were rowing. After the Freshmen dropped out the work became a little ragged but improved greatly when the stroke was quickened a half-mile from...
During the slack season of the year when the majority of outdoor sports are at a low ebb, the gymnasium becomes the general resort of those desiring exercise, health or athletic amusement. That boxing, indoor running, jumping, calisthenics and other gymnastic games furnish welcome opportunities for satisfying these desires is evinced by the fact that over five hundred men use it daily. So large a number overcrowd the present gymnasium, with its inadequate arrangement and appliances, but until the University is presented with a new gymnasium or is able to build an addition to the present one, such overcrowding...
