Side by side with the crying need for a new gymnasium stands the necessity of more improved land for the promotion of our ever-growing intracollegiate athletics. The increasing interest that has been taken of late in that kind of sport is a most healthy manifestation, which deserves, in the estimation of the most ardent supporter or the most vehement opponent of intercollegiate athletics, every possible encouragement. And yet, of Soldiers, Field only 24 acres, or less than half of its total area, are available for use. The cricket team was driven out of existence by the pressure of other...
...better report today at the Weld at 3.45 or let me know the reason why they will not. They were taken on the University squad partly to be tried out, but chiefly to be given a chance to get some coaching before the class crews came out. This kind of spirit of only rowing on one of the two University crews is selfish and disgraceful.

Whichever way the preference lies, a pop-night was the choice, and it is for 1910 to make tonight's affair...
...library, one of the finest of its kind in the world, now contains 37,449 books and pamphlets, 1,801 having been added during the past year. Professor Pickering strongly emphasizes the fact that this most valuable collection "is, however, in constant danger of destruction by fire, and is scattered through the rooms of the observatory," making the need of a new structure imperative. The photographic department is especially valuable, as it enables the observatory to trace the history and variations of a star while most other observatories must base their calculations on its present conditions...
