The orchestral accompaniment of these songs, through no fault of Mr. Monteux, might have been more even...
Gold, silver, and bronze medals will be awarded to first, second, and third place winners respectively. The meet is open to all undergraduates of the University who are not on probation. In order that inexperienced men will have as fair a chance to win one of the first three places as regular members of the squad, there will be in addition to the regular handicap events, novice races in the 40-yard dash and the 440-yard run, open only to men who have never won prizes in any meet...
