Significant in the movement to prepare for possible war is the experiment which the Amateur Relay League is to make late tonight in the wireless transmission of a message from Davenport, Iowa, to all parts of the country. The message will be relayed entirely by amateur operators and copies will be delivered to the mayors of all cities which have stations and the governors of all the states, the War Department having co-operated to make this possible. The message will be relayed from Cambridge by the members of the Harvard Wireless Club to Lexington to be read...
...Voted: That the managers of the five major sport teams, together with the Graduate Treasurer of the Athletic Association, shall form a committee to pass upon the eligibility of experienced men entering a competition late...
...with pains. The "Agrippina" of Mr. Lyman Dudley lacks what so many historical productions lack,--a sense of atmosphere.

In a small body of six vitally interested men, the temptation to unfair manipulation is too great. The entire Student Council should pass upon the eligibility of late entrants. In so large and representative a body, the influence of personality and extraneous pernicious impulses will be impossible. A limit should also be placed upon the time of entering a competition after it has been started. This limit...
