...with several of the best performers on probation, he did his part, by planning, assisting and encouraging, in turning out the first Harvard intercollegiate champion team since 1901. But for the exasperating indifference of men capable of winning places in the field events, the dual meet also would have fallen to us. With this Rand combined remarkable form in his own events winning places in both hurdles in both meets, establishing a new Harvard record, and equalling a dual record of ten years standing...

At present the membership has naturally fallen off slightly because of the mid-years, but before that there was a decided increase in numbers. The members seem to be satisfied with the new system and it will probably be continued indefinitely. It is a pity that this institution which could be made to fill a pleasant and important place in College life should be in such straits as in the past few months. And we sincerely trust that things have been put on a sound basis...
