Again the Faculty has recommended the curtailment of athletic schedules, directing its recommended this time entirely at the Athletic Committee, and phrasing it far more forcefully. The CRIMSON has already taken its stand on this matter, and can only repeat that it is not in sympathy with any material reductions of the athletic programs; that it believes intercollegiate athletic relations are a unifying force, an education, and a necessity; that material reduction in the number of contests without the co-operation of our rivals will not only place us at a hopeless disadvantage, but will be the death-blow...
...about Harvard, would be a list of all the men at Harvard from his own city or state. On such a list there would probably be the names of some men of whom he had heard, and on whose advice he could rely.

The average of excellence is indeed quite on a parity with that afforded by recent German, French, and English enterprises of similar scope and method, while many of the volumes will no doubt take permanent place as notable contributions to the general equipment...
