Jumpers and cross country men met Wednesday night to hear Varsity track coach Jaako Mikkola speak on training methods. Cross country practice will be held every afternoon from now until the Dartmouth Winter Carnival in an effort to remedy the weakness shown last year in these events...
There are important thinkers and speakers on war, peace, neutrality, and foreign affairs whom Harvard should hear. There are vital phases of current problems which are outside the range of the regular university courses. It is the duty and opportunity of the Peace Committee to attract these men and study these subjects.

Later hear more gossip about clever means of lengthening vacations. Exciting is the case of an undergraduate who times his return to college so well that his train is to arrive nine minutes before his first class. Of course, the train is an hour late. The student, already visualizing the opening...
