This fact is obvious to the large number of men who are taking the course now or who have taken it before, and is due to a system much more in keeping with secondary school education than with that given in college. The grading is so arranged that the numerical total in the weekly papers, the midyear and final examinations is ascertained, and the mark is given according to the total number of points. As a result there are always certain men who have been doing well, who would not even need to attend the examination in order to receive...
...Board will examine the complete records of all applicants for readmission and will demand of candidates the strongest assurance of future success. The passing of an approved course in the Harvard Summer School with an honor grade (A or B) may be considered as a reasonable basis for readmission and in general is regarded by the Administrative Board as the most satisfactory evidence of work done.

Gurney, Miss Lilian Horsford and Miss Alice, M. Longfellow. Under less favorable sponsorship and without the firm support of President Eliot of Harvard it would hardly...
...Haven track for 14 years, but Coach Farrell is not worried. He is not disturbed by the papers. He dopes his men to win; he figures what they must accomplish to do so; and he counts on their living up to expectations. His men are on the up-grade, but the bad weather of the past two days has interfered with the intensive training he had planned. Yale, on the other hand, reached the peak of its form last Saturday, and will not be hurt so much it this week's practice is slowed up by rain...
