...research. This is without doubt a worthy aim. Wider publicity on scientific study is to be desired. But the fact remains that college sports are spectacular, and college scholarship is not. The emphasis placed by the press on sports is also partly the fault of the universities themselves insofar as they provide elaborate equipment and build large stadiums to satisfy public demand. The News is willing to cooperate with the association in its desire to make the latest discoveries in scientific research the common property of all, but sees little hope that any material success toward lessening newspaper emphasis...
...which 1,200 U.S. citizens, many of them clerics, urged him not to abandon the goal of reducing armaments, chief U.S. delegate Henry Lewis Stimson announced that a minimum 200,000 ton reduction of the U.S. fleet, and an even larger reduction of the British fleet is possible insofar as these nations by themselves are concerned, but basically the announcement was a left-handed reminder that everything depended on the attitude of "other powers...

...statement of President Lowell, announced in today's paper, regarding the status of Freshmen and Sophomores in the Engineering School, in relation to the House Plan is an eminently fair and judicial settlement of a difficult situation insofar as the members of the first two classes are concerned. It is very unfortunate however that this decision was not reached in time to allow Juniors to apply for rooms in the new House units. The Juniors are in every way as much entitled to consideration under the circumstances which led President Lowell to change the policy in regard to Engineering Students...
...that the time given to practice and training of necessity far outweighs that occupied in actual competition. It is consequently in rowing that the most highly developed system of coaching exists. The best oars in the college boat club divide up the various crews among them and each carries, insofar as is possible, the same boat through the particular training period in question. On the whole the system works very well. The veteran oarsmen usually know the fundamentals of rowing, as traditionally taught in their college, pretty thoroughly and attain a large measure of success in imparting them to their...
