...whole squad on February 10, in preparation for the Indoor Carnival to be held in the Gymnasium on March 7. In this meet there will be dormitory teams made up of inexperienced men, and novice competitions in nearly all events. There is a chance for any man, no matter whether he has ever run before or not, to come out and have a good time, and perhaps, with good coaching, develop the latent qualities of a point-winner. L.

...CRIMSON, realizing that a bad mistake had been made, blamed the track management for an error in judgment. We still believe that this error was made.

...essay on Stephen Phillips, by J. T. Addison, goes, without question, to the heart of the whole matter. By means of admirable selections the writer demonstrates Mr. Phillips's virtues and defects as a poet; and continuing classes him as a playwright--one versed in the theatrical--as opposed to a real dramatist--an objective student of character. The comparison with Shakespeare, urged for the purpose of bringing out Mr. Phillips's dramatic flimsiness, might easily have been made more illuminating by slightly profounder meditation...
