...higher throughout the race yesterday than he did three days ago, but Swaim's crew were prepared for a close contest, and made a much better showing. The crews rowed down the course at a 32 stroke-per-minute clip, little hindered by a light head wind, which had less effect than did the cross chop from several launches which had passed over the course. Crew X had a slight lead as the two eights passed under Harvard bridge, but Watts forced his shell ahead to a position almost a length in front of crew X. Swaim retaliated...
...extension of the time during which the college laboratories are open to undergraduates. The Widener Library is at the disposal of all members of the University for a much larger part of the day than are the laboratories in spite of the fact that its facilities are less essential to continued work. Books may be taken from the library for use during the hours in which it is closed, but when a laboratory shuts its doors the work going on within can not be taken home in the student's brief case...

Not only does this involve personal hardship, but it loses for the science departments many men who might later be a credit and a source of strength to them. Only from motives of self interest then and even without any consideration for the rights or convenience of individuals, the authorities in charge would seem to be justified in a relaxation of the restrictions now imposed on laboratory working time...
...present attendants should take care of the stock room situation. The supervision of elementary work now given in the day time by graduate students also seems capable of extension with no very great difficulty. The trouble of answering a question or two and the time taken up by directing less advanced men even with all the members of a course working at once as is now the case is not enough to prevent the instructors from doing much work in their own laboratories. One seems justified in assuming that a sufficient number of graduate students could be found who would...
...time be appointed. In a vocation the benefits of which come largely by the way and unrecognized by any great percentage of the population, the few opportunities for personal recognition which exist are but the more welcome because of their rarity. Such occasions as the present in which no less than five professorships are awarded to as many men should be a source of satisfaction not only to the recipients but to the University which has the privilege of bestowal...
