...annual Freshman fall track meeting was held on Holmes Field yesterday afternoon. The games on the whole were very uninteresting owing to the small number of entries and the slow time in which all the events were won. There were less entries than ever before in the Freshman games.

Tickets will be sent out within a few days to all the members of the club and only they will be allowed to make use of the links...
...that debating is not given full opportunity for development, and that some change of system is necessary. As the best suggestion for improvement we point to the Freshman Club and would have similar clubs established in the other classes. Our correspondent thinks on the contrary that there is no field for further development of debating activity and that the lack of success of the Union and the Forum is due to the debating courses which absorb the whole interest of upper classmen...
