...second number of the Advocate which appeared yesterday is certainly interesting. Moreover, the selection of material has been skilful, for the number steers with striking evenness between heaviness on the one side and more fooling on the other. There is, however, some good fooling in it, for instance the thoroughly deserved burlesquing in "The Adventures of the Harvard Man" of some recent pictures of him in fiction. Decidedly amusing, too, are the lines "B. C. or A. D." It is a pity that the only other piece of verse, "The Indian Runner," which is admirable in its first stanza, falls...
...this fall. The men rowed upstream about 1 and 1-2 miles in several easy stretches and returned to the University boathouse about 4.50 o'clock. Both crews showed slight improvement over their work on Tuesday, and the first crew was able to keep its shell on a fairly even keel. The second boat, however, as was also the case in the former practice, spaced out the more consistently between strokes...
...little tired. Noyes at 6 was lunging with his blade at the catch, and Morse, 3, and Weeks, bow, were also out of time on the recovery. Gradually the University shell forged ahead. Filley raised his stroke and every man in the boat kept with him, even at 36 in the last few lengths. The whole Harvard crew finished strong, crossing the line a winner by almost two lengths of open water. The time was 23 minutes and 2 seconds. In the Yale boat, Noyes, 6, was forced by exhaustion to stop rowing before the line was crossed...
...University four-oared race was won by Yale by at least 10 boat lengths. For the first quarter mile the shells kept on even terms, but after that Yale steadily pulled away. There was no perceptible trouble in the University crew. The men kept well together and held a steady stroke. The Yale crew did not row in any the smoother form, but was physically more powerful. Yale's time was 11 minutes, 46 3-5 seconds...
...great success, and proved a most enjoyable and useful addition to the list of Class Day festivities. A luncheon for President Roosevelt on Commencement Day last year was equally successful. Several minor changes in the arrangements for the 1907. Union dance, held early this spring, made that event even more pleasant than the 1906 Union dance was last year. Indeed, the Junior dance in the Union seems now to have become a distinct part of the social life of the University...
