...seems, however, that the crew policy this year is liable to follow last year's as regards the captain's exercise of authority over the coach. At present the captain has complete control theoretically; it is unfair to saddle him with this responsibility and it is unjust to deny complete authority to the coach, whom the public holds responsible. This injustice can be righted by a vote of the Athletic Committee...
...Social Service Committee of Phillips Brooks House will hold a dinner in the Trophy Room of the Union this evening at 6.30 o'clock. At this dinner and at the conference which will follow it, W. Willcox, Jr., '17 will preside. About twenty representatives of different settlements in Greater Boston and at least forty undergraduates who are doing social service work will be present. The dinner will be a dollar a plate and all those interested in this work are invited to attend...
...correspondent of the CRIMSON assumes that the majority of undergraduates are not members of the Union, and that they will vote for compulsion according to whether they are members or not.

...Palmer's letter in the CRIMSON of March 17 is interesting but subject to dispute. His scientific division of the ways in which classics should be taught appears somewhat obscure and doubtful. Why may not a student follow more than one point of view in reading an author if that author deserves such a consideration?

If he fails to appreciate any of these three...
...humanity is just what constitutes the heart of the classics, and humanity is a composite thing. For this reason, good teaching and full appreciation of the classics is somewhat difficult. If, however, we were to follow Mr. Palmer's suggestion of "unscrambling" the classics, we would be only creating another chaos. Specialization in a certain field is, of course, of importance for the graduate student. But I cannot see how an undergraduate can enjoy Virgil without learning to appreciate the language, the rhythm, the imagination, the patriotic fervor, and the human characteristics of the great poet, whose vitality cannot...
