...labor to a narrative of the annals of the American people. Despite the elaborate scale on which the undertaking was projected, the whole series has been issued from the press within the comparatively short space of less than four years, an unusual achievement for an enterprise of its kind. Upon the general editor has devolved the task of delimiting the scope of the various numbers and determining the different phases of the subject upon which greater or less stress should be placed; of selecting more than a score of authors to whom the compilation of the individual volumes has been...
...Mitchell's collection. Most of them are portraits of English jurists of the last four centuries, including those of Wolsey and other Lord Chancellors. This new addition brings the total number of pictures in the collection up to about five hundred and makes it probably the best of its kind in the world. Most of it is in the old Law School Building, but part is to be hung in Langdell Hall...
...CRIMSON feels that if a competition is to be held at all, its terms should be strictly adhered to; but believes that under present conditions any kind of competition is as undersirable as the subscription nuisance itself.

Then let the class choose a winner...
...deplorably unsuccessful season that our basketball team has just gone through only serves to emphasize the inadequacy of the Hemenway Gymnasium for any kind of organized sport. Basketball deserves better support than it now receives, but until the candidates can be better accommodated the game is not very likely to flourish. When the building has been thoroughly renovated, conditions will be somewhat better; but we await in patient hope the time when some loyal graduate will present us with a new gymnasium, or at least put the present one into such shape that we shall not be obliged to receive...
...Winter Relay Carnival today, showing an increase of two hundred over the figures of last year and comprising more than two hundred and twenty individual competitors, marks a significant point in the progress of athletics within the limits of the University. This is a striking instance of a kind of athletics that has been unusually prosperous this year. Scrub basketball gave exercise and amusement to 80 men; approximately the same number entered the scrub hockey series, which was unfortunately forestalled by the breaking up of winter; last fall 14 eight-oared crews took part in the inter-dormitory bumping races...
