...student who wishes to be a scientist and an athlete at the same time, there is only one way open--to institute evening laboratory periods. If the laboratories were kept open one night each week, from seven o'clock until ten o'clock, a student could keep up in his experimental work without sacrificing his chances to make some team. The laboratories here at Harvard are well equipped with electric lights, which would make it quire agreeable to work by night...
...annual school-boy B. A. A. meet this afternoon at Mechanics Hall. Coach Donovan's quartet will have to run without the services of three of its regular men. Captain Capper and W. J.

...protest against the beer are not engaged in a vigorous attempt to keep from drinking it themselves. They could do that without all these letters. Obviously they are trying to reform their neighbors, and to force all the members of the University to share their own abstemiousness. Granting that beer is harmful, there would remain some question of the wisdom of this proceeding in a University that attempts to train men for a life where most people are necessarily run by themselves and not by various self appointed supervisors...
