...most notable visitor is undoubtedly Heathcote William Garrod, Professor of Poetry at Oxford since 1923 as he will hold the Charles Eliot Norton Chair of Poetry, endowed by the late C. C. Stillman '98 four years ago. This chair was not filled last year owing to the fact that University authorities were slow in seeking a man to fill it.

Many and many a famed stalwart besides Christian Keener Cagle was last week watching plays being diagnosed upon a blackboard and making phantom first downs across an empty field and plunging ferociously at a tackling dummy.

Professionalism steps in where angels fear to tread as is evidenced by recent attempts to commercialize even the most commonplace dance marathon, let alone the attempted subsidization of better accepted sports such as tennis...

The fact that this has become almost a commonplace to Harvard men under the form of the Lowellism "all education is self-education" ought not to obscure the fact that there is still much to be accomplished along the general lines already laid down...
